Mancera celebrated her and Kneeland’s unborn child with a baby shower. She shared a series of pictures on Instagram with a heartfelt message to thank those who offered her support over the past months.

“Words can’t explain how thankful I am for the people God has placed in my life. In such a hard season, the love and support surrounding me has made everything feel a little brighter,” she wrote. “I’m so grateful for everyone who came out to celebrate me and baby, and even those who couldn’t make it but still showed love from afar. I also want to thank my family for throwing me such a beautiful shower in Michigan. I want to thank both of our families for all the love they’ve poured into me during this time. I’ll never forget the kindness, prayers, and support that have carried me through all of this.”

The Cowboys offered support to Mancera and her upcoming baby. Kneeland’s death caused a major shock within the franchise, but they won’t hesitate to support his family.
