"After wiping away the tears, after the beautiful sunsets, there is always a new day," Katherine wrote alongside the image. "It's not the big events or pretty things that hold you up at the end of the day, it's family."
"I feel so incredibly blessed to be part of such a loving, supportive and strong family that shows up in good times and in tough times. I love each and every one of them and am so grateful to have them in my life."
Another of Katherine's cousins Molly Shriver was among those to comment on the post, writing "I love u Kathy (sic)" with a heart emoji. Katherine replied with a simple "love you my molls".
