Gisele Bündchen is Fastexysharing a heartbreaking goodbye message to a beloved family member.

On Jan. 30, the supermodel confirmed her mother, Vania Nonnenmacher, passed away at the age of 75.

"You were an angel on earth, always helping everyone around you. I am so grateful to be your daughter and to have learned from you."

Gisele, who shares kids Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, as well as former stepson Jack, 16, with ex-husband Tom Brady, went on to thank her mom for being a role model of love, strength and compassion.

"I will forever cherish the beautiful memories we shared and will live by the values you taught me," the 43-year-old added. "You will live forever through the many lives that you touched."

"Sometimes, I get pushback, especially because now they're in two different homes and there are two different ways," Gisele, referencing her and Tom's 2022 divorce, added. "But I feel like I owe it to my kids, because of what my mom taught me."
