The engaging clip garnered over 50,000 views with words of love and prayers pouring in from her fans from all over the world.

Eva’s post came soon after Hollywood Life reported that her sister, Lara Larue Rutherford, afforded the former soap star some much-needed happiness days during this difficult time.

The “CSI: Miami” star uploaded an image of her and Lara beaming at the camera as she wished the latter a “happy birthday.”

Meanwhile, People recalled that Eva shared several memories of John, whom she shares 18-year-old Kaya with, on Instagram soon after his death with the caption:

“He was my great friend, co-parent and amazing father to Kaya. The absence of his bigger than life, gregarious personality will leave a hole in our hearts forever.”

John and Eva met during the days of “All My Children” when she joined the show as his love interest, Maria Santos. Although the former couple got married in 1996 and divorced in 2004, they continued to be good friends and parents to Kaya.

People revealed that John died unexpectedly in March after he suffered from a massive stroke at his Palm Desert, California, home.

Once alerted, paramedics responded to the late actor’s house and rushed him to Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California, where he was placed on life support.
