“My beautiful Smile is pain free, living in her new body alongside Jesus,” the actor, 62, wrote in his post, referring to Alicia as “my Smile,” as he often did.
“Please respect our privacy during this time of grief. Please do not ask any questions,” he added, while inviting his friends and followers to share “any pictures of us and our obvious love and adoration for each other.”
