The actress relies on her family during this time of difficulty, and her post is a great way to thank you. She then expanded her point of having a reliable family supporting her, saying:
“They don’t have to share your blood. But when your lucky enough to have people who really see you. Who know the truth of your life, the real stories, the truth, the true you, man there’s no greater blessing (sic).”
Lattanzi and her stepfather, John Easterling, are committed to continuing her late mother’s annual walk supporting The ONJ Cancer Wellness & Research Centre Walk for Wellness.
