Chad Lowe and his wife, Kim Painter, honored their daughter Fiona with a private celebration of life over the weekend, bringing together family members and close friends nearly a month after her death. Sources confirmed the gathering to PEOPLE.

Fiona died on September 29 at age 13. Her death was subsequently ruled a suicide by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. The family's public remembrance has centered on her creativity, her love of dancing and the affection she shared with her parents and sisters.

"We are deeply heartbroken by the loss of our beloved Fiona," the family said in a statement shared following her death. They described a daughter whose presence brought joy to their home and whose loss has devastated the entire family. Fiona was the second of the couple's three daughters.

The family has asked for prayers and privacy as they grieve. Further details about the private memorial have not been publicly shared. PEOPLE previously reported that relatives and friends, including Chad's brother, Rob Lowe, have gathered around the couple to offer support.

Their request for prayer carries a responsibility for those responding: to offer compassion without demanding explanations, respect the family's boundaries and remember that grief continues long after public attention moves elsewhere. For churches and communities, practical care can include meals, quiet companionship and continued contact in the months ahead.

At the center of this remembrance is Fiona-a daughter and sister whose family called her "the light of our lives."
