Tim Tebow and fiancée Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters are mourning the death of the beauty queen’s 13-year-old sister, Franje, who died on Saturday.

“My little Princess, Angel on Earth, biggest joy and baby sister, Franje, passed away earlier today,” Nel-Peters, 23, penned on Instagram, alongside the Bible verse Romans 8:38-39.

“Our hearts are aching beyond measure but I am grateful knowing she’s forever relieved of the pain she experienced on earth. She’s laughing, running and playing in heaven just like we always hoped she would on earth.
