Grieving mother Drena De Niro took to Instagram Thursday posting an adorable throwback baby photo of her beloved son Leandro, who died just last week as the investigation into the 19-year-old’s death continues.
In the snap from the past, Robert De Niro’s grandson is photographed as a toddler with long, curly dark hair playing a small guitar. Leandro is seen shirtless in the photo with a soft smile looking down from the camera. His heartbroken mother captioned the new photo: “My darling we celebrate you today and always.
“Thank you for everyone for the help prayers and loving energy that is pulling us through this devastating time. Julie thank you for this beautiful photo of Leo.” She followed her words with a string of emojis, including a heart, praying hands, doves, and a sad face.
The new photo received an outpour of love from her followers who reached out to offer support. One person wrote: “As a mother to my only son, I’m truly sorry for your pain. I hope that you find the strength to keep going, one day at a time! My deepest condolences.”
