The 32-year-old reality TV star met her husband while shooting the famous series “19 Kids and Counting” and wed in 2014.
The couple are parents to three children: sons Israel David, nine, Samuel Scott, six, and Frederick “Freddy” Michael, 21 months.
The Dillards shared the news with a photo of them holding knitted booties and comforting one another.
The Instagram community also shared comforting messages of support for the couple during their loss.
“Love you so much, sis. Continuing to uphold you all in prayer. Sweet little Isla will be missed,” Jill’s sister, Jinger Duggar Vuolo, wrote.
“We love you all. We are continuing to pray. Isla Marie is so loved. Forever our first girl,” Derick’s mother, Deena, said in another comment.
Selah Christian artist, Todd Smith, wrote, “It’s the most heartbreaking group to be a part of. May God continue to give Isla Marie weight in this world to draw others to Jesus. May you grieve fully, and may Jesus’ loving arms cover over your marriage and family.”{eoa}
