Talinda said she would try her best to move forward for the sake of their children. She shares a 11-year-old son, Tyler, and 6-year-old twin daughters, Lily and Lila, with the late singer, who is also survived by three more children from his previous relationships.
"The only answer I know is to raise our babies with every ounce of love I have left," Talinda continued. "I want to let my community and the fans worldwide know that we feel your love. We feel your loss as well. My babies are so young to have lost their daddy, and I know that all of you will help keep his memory alive."
Speaking of her deceased husband, she said, "He was a bright, loving soul with an angel's voice, and now he is pain free, singing his songs in all of our hearts." She concluded, "May God bless us all and help us turn to one another when we are in pain. Chester would've wanted us to do so. Rest In Peace, my love."
