Regan Cole-Graham, 36, a Google executive and wife of sports journalist Matthew Graham, tragically died on Saturday, January 31, after being struck by a car while riding her bike with her family in Los Angeles.
She was seven months pregnant with the couple's third child, a daughter.
Cole-Graham was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors delivered the unborn baby. Sadly, the infant spent two days in the NICU before passing away on Monday, February 2.

The family has launched a GoFundMe page to cover funeral expenses and support Matthew and his children.
Loved ones are remembering a 36-year-old pregnant mother and Google executive who was hit and killed while riding a bike with her family in Playa del Rey over the weekend.
