The caption reads “Missing Katy B today and every day,” followed by a yellow heart. In the world of symbolism, the color yellow can have many meanings, including when associated with a curled ribbon – such as the pink ribbon for cancer. Relating it to ribbon color, yellow can refer to suicide prevention, making Brosnahan’s tribute both a heartfelt admission and an important note of solidarity and call for awareness.

Spade’s niece has carved her own path, in her case in the acting world. Born on July 12, 1990, she is currently 30 years of age. Spade would have gotten the chance to see the start of Brosnahan’s most popular role, that of Amazon Prime Video’s titular Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. But her career spans back to 2009 in the Michael Bay horror film The Unborn, in which Brosnahan played a high schooler. After that, she appeared in single episodes of various drama shows.

Following her aunt’s death, Brosnahan shared another poignant post online, writing, “She had a light that words can’t capture but touched everyone she came into contact with. She was exceedingly kind, beautifully sensitive, insanely talented, funny as heck and one of the most generous people I have ever known. She was effervescent. Hug your loved ones extra tight today.” Her words accompanied a video of Spade dancing with an apparently joyful look.
