The day before Sarah’s outing, the Long Island, NY-native penned a heartfelt tribute to Nick Cordero, the famed New York City-based actor who lost his months-long battle against COVID-19 on Sunday.

Taking to her Instagram, she shared a stunning photo of Cordero, 41, his wife Amanda Kloots, 38, and their son Elvis, who celebrated his first birthday in June. 

‘I’m not even sure what to say right now. Today @nickcordero1 lost his battle with covid. For everyone out there thinking this disease is harmless, it’s not,’ Gellar wrote in the caption.

‘Nick leaves behind a beautiful wife @amandakloots and the most precious son, who just celebrated his first birthday without his father,’ she continued.

Sarah noted that ‘because of this horrible disease we can’t even hug [Amanda]’ during her time of need, but that she wanted Amanda to know ‘there is an army of people here, ready to support you in ANY and EVERY way possible.’

‘I wish you understood the inspiration that you have been to so many, and I hope that brings you even the smallest bit of comfort through all this. But none of this is fair.’

The Scooby-Doo actress concluded her compassionate post with the quote: ‘Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal.’

And on Monday, Sarah uploaded another snippet for Kloots honor, screen-capturing the grieving fitness instructor’s live broadcast of her last song in Nick’s honor.

In the caption, Sarah Michelle called Amanda ‘a rock star and a super hero.’
