Chad Lowe's father is remembering his "sweet" granddaughter Fiona Lowe after her death at 13.
Charles "Chuck" Lowe, the father of actors Chad and Rob Lowe, shared a photo of Fiona smiling in a swimming pool in a Sept. 30 Instagram tribute.
"Rest in peace sweet Fiona," he captioned the image. His tribute came a day after Chad Lowe and his wife, Kim Painter, announced their daughter's death in a family statement to People magazine.
Fiona Hepler Lowe was the second daughter of actor Chad Lowe, and casting director Painter and the niece of fellow actor Rob Lowe.
