“I’d do anything in the world to hug you again, my forever angel,” Taylor wrote over the post.

David and Pamela’s youngest daughter, Hayley, also paid tribute to her mom on March 13. “Mom, last night was one of the hardest. I don’t know if it’s because it’s been a week since your passing or the synchronization of the rain tonight, just like the night of,” Hayley wrote via her Instagram Stories. “I pray that one day I can find comfort in the sound of rain again as it’ll symbolize your spirit going to heaven. For now, all I hear is my heart aching for you.”
