She addressed the late Broadway star as an angel in Heaven and added that she and their son Elvis will continue to honor him.
She noted that since her husband's passing, the Broadway community has constantly shown love and support to her family. Cordero passed away in July, at 41, after suffering complications from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ever since, his loved ones have continued to honor his memory and legacy. On what would have been his 42nd birthday in September, actress Florence Pugh paid tribute to Cordero with a touching Instagram post.
In the same light, to celebrate her husband, Kloots, who is also a theater actor, shared a heartwarming post featuring pictures from Cordero's last birthday party.
She accompanied it with a tribute where she addressed the late Broadway star as an angel in Heaven and added that she and their son Elvis will continue to honor him.
Though he is long gone, Cordero's memory lives on in the hearts of many, and without a doubt, they will always find special ways to celebrate him and his legacy.
