The Duggar Family is Reunited in New Photos from Jill’s Daughter’s Memorial

Jill Duggar had the support of her family during her daughter’s memorial service.

On Wednesday, the Count on star shared another round of pictures from the memorial service honoring her and Derick Dillard’s stillborn daughterIsla Marie.

“🩷Isla Marie Dillard, ‘planted on earth to bloom in heaven.’ 🌸 “For you have formed my inner being; I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made…” (Psalm 139:13-14) #islamariedillard #stillborn #balloonrelease 🌸Laid to rest April 19, 2024,” she captioned the post.

At the top of the photo carousel was a photo of her and Derick walking together while being presented with a pink balloon. The post continues with a series of images of Jill, Derick, their children and other family members, each holding balloons to be released in Isla’s honor.

Amidst the photos, Jill’s father, Jim Bob Duggar, appears in the middle image – despite their estrangement.

Last week, Jill and Derick announced in a heartbreaking post that their fourth child and only daughter was stillborn.

“💔It is with a heavy heart that we announce the stillbirth of our beautiful baby girl, Isla Marie Dillard. “Jill was four months pregnant (due in August) when we found out our baby died in the womb,” the couple wrote in a joint Instagram post.

They continued: “From the moment we found out we were pregnant, we couldn’t wait to meet our baby. Isla was very popular from the start and her three big brothers were so excited to introduce her into their world. We appreciate your prayers as we continue to grieve and heal from the loss of our little Isla Marie 😭🩷.

On Tuesday, Jill and Derick shared a series of photos from the memorial service that took place last Friday.

“🩷Isla Marie, our little girl. We will love you forever and keep you in our hearts until we hold you in heaven. 🩷 Laid to rest April 19, 2024 #stillbirth #dillardbabygirl #islamarie #foreverloved,” she and Derick captioned the joint post, which contained a small white box containing Isla’s remains, toys, stuffed animals and other items in honor of their late daughter.

The post did not contain any pictures of the family.

In 2023 Jill spoke to ET before the publication of her memoirs, The costs count. At the time, she spoke about her broken relationship with her family, with whom she starred on the TLC series. 19 kids and counting.

Amid the tension that Count on Star shared that she still loves her family.

“I think it might be helpful for some of my siblings to read and hear our perhaps filtered view of our history. I think it might be helpful for them to hear our story, but I also think it might be helpful.” “It’s a release for some of my siblings,” she told ET. “…I think if that helps them, liberates them, gives them their voice and empowers them, then I think that’s great. I would love for them all to read it.”
