A family in Evans is mourning the loss of its 4-year-old daughter who died Saturday, WRDW reported.

Chris Wishart and Pamela Foladare have no idea how their daughter Addison died, according to WRDW.

The parents told the news outlet that they took their daughter to the hospital for colon surgery a few weeks ago. When they got home after surgery, the family knew something was wrong when the 4-year-old could not hold down food.

“She was good. She was great before the surgery, and then after that, she came back home and she was great for the few days she was, and then the moment she had to be rushed back, we just knew,” they told WRDW.

Addison underwent a second abdominal surgery, according to the news outlet, and at some point contracted COVID. She tested positive for the virus one day before she died, WRDW reported.

Addison’s parents told WRDW that they will miss her smile and that they know “she’s looking down” on them and “everyone who loves her.”

“It’s an empty hole in our heart, and she was amazing. I couldn’t have had a better daughter; she was everything I’d want in a daughter,” Wishart told WRDW.
