Taking to her Instagram story, Connie Boss Alexander posted a screenshot of an old FaceTime call between the mother-son duo. The 40-year-old looked ready to step out for the night as he appeared to be dressed in a tuxedo with a diamond chain. 

They seemed to be chatting in the picture, which she is missing as the caption read, "Oh if only I could FT to heaven…." This would be the second time Alexander has posted about the DJ since his tragic passing.

The Blast noted that she released a brief statement to thank everyone for their support and show of love during the tough time. "Family and friends, thank you for all the love, prayers, and encouragement," the message began.

The 34-year-old listed his attributes as being their backbone, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans, adding, "to say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt."

She mentioned that his memory would be honored every day and asked for privacy as they learned to navigate their new reality without him, as she concluded by writing, "Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you."
