Ryan, Tatum and Redmond O’Neal commemorated the one-year anniversary of the death of Farrah Fawcett on Friday by visiting the actress’ Los Angeles gravesite.
“I saw my mom’s gravesite for the first time today,” Redmond told PEOPLE at a private gathering Friday evening to celebrate the opening of The Farrah Fawcett Foundation. The foundation is to promote funding for alternative methods of cancer research. Redmond continued by saying, “I miss my mother so much. I’m glad she’s not suffering anymore. I know she is looking down on us.”
Ryan O’Neal, Farrah’s companion of more than 25 years, reflected on her passing by saying, “I wish I could talk to her. Having Farrah gone has been very hard. It hurts. I don’t know what Redmond is going through. He is quiet about it, but he must be suffering terribly.”
Tatum O’Neal, who has just reconciled with her father after years of estrangement, has noticed Farrah’s death has really affected him. “Dad is an emotional man, and Farrah’s death has taken its toll on him. But our being able to reconnect as a family is so beautiful. Farrah would be so happy that we’re all here.”
