Now, Sandra Bullock’s sister Gesine Bullock-Prado, in a heartfelt Instagram post, shared some rare insight into the couple’s final moments together. The two were in a relationship since 2015.

Alongside a smiling photograph of Bryan Randall, Gesine wrote, “I am convinced that Bry [Bryan] has found the best fishing spot in heaven and is already casting his lure into rushing rivers teaming with salmon.”

Calling ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) a “cruel disease”, Gesine revealed that the late photographer had the best of “caretakers” in Sandra Bullock and the band of nurses.

“ALS is a cruel disease but there is some comfort in knowing he had the best of caretakers in my amazing sister and the band of nurses she [Sandra Bullock] assembled who helped her look after him in their home. Rest in peace, Bryan. In lieu of flowers, please donate to ALS Association and Massachusetts General Hospital,” she finished off.
