Sharing a photo of himself, Nanny Fran and his baby boy Rex, Joe emotionally wrote, 'Goodnight Nanny Fran 💔 Sleep well. I miss you so much already. I’m heartbroken. I wish I could have spent more time with you. I wish I could have seen you more before you left us. I wish I could have said goodbye. But I know you know how much we all love you and you’ll be watching down on us, looking after us forever more.'

Joe then added, 'Goodbye Nan. Love you. Thinking of all of those who have lost loved ones during this awful situation. Thinking of all of the people who weren’t able to be by their loved ones side. Those who won’t be able to say goodbye at their funerals. It’s excruciating. And cruel. Sending so much love your way. ❤️' (sic)

The actor's fans and celebrity friends were quick to comment on his touching post, sending their condolences for his devastating loss.
