In one of the photos, Sarah and Lauren were dressed in matching nautical dresses with adorable bows in their hair. In another, the sisters gazed lovingly at each other while donning puffy silk gowns.

She also shared present-day pics of herself and Lauren hanging out on a sister-dinner-date and in a resort pool.

The sisters’ relationship became ever stronger after the passing of their older brother Karl in 2019.

Karl tragically passed away following a 15 year battle with brain cancer.

In October 2020, Sarah shared a photo of herself and Lauren planting a kiss on Karl’s cheeks, penning: “Cheers to the big boss, the head honcho, the big squirt & (wait for this one…) the grand master (as he preferred to be referred to!)

“You would’ve been 46 today! We are all so grateful for you. I feel you beside me when beauty brightens, when kindness glows & when music echoes.

“Love and miss you like crazy everyday. #bigsquirt 🐳🎈,” the actress signed off the post.

“Three months ago today he walked me down the aisle and now he is walking with the angels. I’m left with a hole in my heart and 34 years of beautiful memories, growing up together as children into adults,” the actress said at the time.
