Céline Dion is nursing her broken heart, but she took time to thank her fans for their support. 


The songstress — who lost the love of her life, husband René Angélil, followed by her brother, Daniel Dion, in a matter of days earlier this month — posted a letter to fans on Friday to thank them for the love, prayers, compassion, and kindness they’ve shown. The note came from the “My Heart Will Go On” singer, her sons — René-Charles, 14, and 5-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy — and the late talent manager’s grown children, Patrick, Jean-Pierre, and Anne-Marie. 

“My family and I are deeply touched by the outpouring of love and support from so many people who have touched our lives during these past few days,” Dion wrote. “We have felt your love for René, and your prayers and compassion have helped us during this most difficult time… more than you’ll ever know. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
