Former spouses Lisa Curry and Grant Kenny reunited over the weekend for an intimate family event to celebrate their daughter Jaimi’s first birthday after she passed away last year.
To commemorate what would have been Jaimi’s 34th birthday, Lisa invited her closest family over for a small lunch that was adorned with beautiful placements, candles, balloons, and all things sweet.
Lisa shared a series of photos on her socials of her family with a sweet caption about how she can still feel Jaimi’s presence.

She also explained that the gorgeous and lavish spread of cookies adorned with ‘forever’ and ‘love you,’ cupcakes decorated with flowers and pink candles were an ode to Jaimi’s love of “all things pretty.”
“A beautiful celebration for our birthday girl, Jaimi ❤️🥰👼😞Surreal but beautiful,” Lisa started.
“Once again, she seems to be with us … look at the fragments of light between Grant and I, and he [Grant] has a heart shaped one on his shirt… too obvious and happening too often to dismiss.. our girl is definitely around us.
“Her love of all things pretty: candles, flowers, the most divine cakes and biscuits and of course , her most loved things… family ❤️🌸👼🥰😞.
“We all love you forever Jaimi and you’ll never be forgotten🌸🌸🌸🌸,” penned Lisa.

The day before, Lisa posted a throwback picture of herself with Jaimi on her actual birthday and pared the wholesome snap with an emotive caption.
“Our beautiful Jaimi, born at 9.03am, 34 years ago. Today is a hard day. I can’t even explain how I feel. I have no words,” wrote the former swimmer.
“Happy birthday Jaimi. We all miss you and love you greatly.🥰❤️😍😞🌸👼 #rememberingjaimi.”
“Today is a hard day. I can’t even explain how I feel.”
Last year in September, the family announced that Jaimi had passed away after fighting a long-term illness.
Later it was revealed that Jaimi had been battling alcohol addiction and an eating disorder.
