Brittanie posted a compilation of some of her favorite photos of the couple together and wrote, “I lost the love of my life today. Thank you for being my everything and thank you, everyone, for your support. Rest easy my love,” alongside the caption “Thank you for showing me what true love is. I love you forever.”

According to reports, the tree landed on the driver’s side of the vehicle, and that Hager died from her injuries before responders reached the scene.
