Kloots also explained more about the process of creating the art piece in her post.

\"Once she mixed the ashes with the clay, threw and spun our piece, Elvis and I got our hands wet and put our hands into the clay to make our imprints on the piece,\" Kloots said. \"It will be a vase!\"

Cordero's widow added that making the vase with her son was \"so incredible and really felt special,\" and called it \"a way to turn something sad into something joyful.\"

\"I think it's so beautiful what you can do with ashes to keep someone you love alive,\" she added.

Earlier this month, Kloots released a moving duet with her late husband in honor of their third wedding anniversary on Sept. 3.

Cordero previously wrote and recorded one verse and and the chorus of the song, and Kloots later added her vocals to finish the track for him. She said listening to the song has made her feel \"closer\" to her late husband and given her \"a lot of comfort these last few days.\"
