Another showed a group of five women, including Rebecca, Heather and Marchand’s mom Lynn, standing in a line with their backs to the camera, all wearing “Marchand 63” jackets.

"Go cats go 😼," she captioned the post.

A third photo showed the extended Marchand family posing together indoors in a lounge, many of them wearing Panthers gear. Another image showed the jumbotron inside Amerant Bank Arena with “Marchand” displayed and the crowd lit up in red.

The next slide saw Rebecca taking a selfie with her nephew Sloane, and Heather, posing under palm trees. She also posted a clip of the celebratory moment of the entire Marchand family in the stands. One of the final slides featured Marcahnd’s daughters Sawyer and Rue posing with their cousin in front of the giant red Publix sign outside the arena.
