On Instagram, Scott shared that she believed her late son was present in the hospital room and beyond. “Zen is in every breath I take. I know his spirit was with us in the room that morning,” she wrote. “I know he is watching down on us, he shows me signs everyday. I will hold onto this memory forever.”
Halo is Scott’s third child. She also another daughter, Zeela, 4, from a previous relationship. Halo is Cannon’s 12th child.
