Support for "Real Housewives of Orange County" alum Kara Keough is pouring in from all over after she announced on Tuesday that her son, McCoy, died during childbirth. Among those sending their thoughts is soccer star Alex Morgan, who is close friends with Keough.

"McCoy's time with us may have been short but it was incredibly impactful and heroic, on par with how you and Kyle live your lives. He is looking over us now as the perfect angel he is," Morgan commented on the post in which Keough broke the tragic news.

On March 12, Keough shared an Instagram photo of herself with Morgan and another friend, all of whom were pregnant at the time.

"Watching these two become mamas here in the next few months (one April, one June) will be one of the coolest milestones of our friendship. I can’t wait to meet the next generation of my favorite humans. Baby Boy Cole, Baby Girl Carrasco, and Baby Bosworth - coming in hot! Next time I see these beauties, at least one of us will be wearing a diaper (and I’m pretty sure that’ll be me). Love you, mamacitas. “Body building” looks so good on you. #22weeks #32weeks #36weeks," she captioned the photo.

"On April 6th, our son McCoy Casey Bosworth was born at 3:10am. Weighing in at 11 pounds and 4 ounces and spanning 21 inches, McCoy surprised us all with his size and strength (and overall perfection). During the course of his birth, he experienced shoulder dystocia and a compressed umbilical cord.

He joined our Heavenly Father and will live forever in the hearts of his loving parents, his adoring sister, and those that received his life-saving gifts," Keough wrote in her post about her son's passing.

She continued by writing:

I wrote this for the organ/tissue procurement team to read out in his honor: “Tonight, we join together to honor this little savior’s gifts of life. Through him, may others find new hope and profound healing... and may he live again through them. May his legacy shine in the form of lifetimes aplenty - lives filled with laughter, compassion, energy, love, and most of all gratitude. May it be said that McCoy Casey Bosworth left this world in a better place, for a better place.... that he made an impact... that he was an answered prayer... that he was a hero.
May angels lead him in.

Thank you, McCoy.”
