Savannah Chrisley shares a touching email with her mother Julie Chrisley during her prison sentence

Savannah Chrisley gives her followers an insight into her family's problems.

According to E! and People magazine, the “Growing Up Chrisley” reality TV star messaged the family matriarch with the lyrics to gospel singer CeCe Winans' “Be Still and Know,” according to a screenshot posted to her Instagram story on Wednesday.

“Sav, thank you for sending this to me. I love you always, mom,” the Chrisley family matriarch replied in an email from federal prison.

Her touching admission comes after Savannah Chrisley took the podium at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last month to tell the conservative crowd about her parents' nearly two-decade prison sentence.

“72600019 and 72601019,” she told the crowd. “To you, these may be just numbers, but to me, they are my whole heart. These numbers are my parents' identification numbers in our federal prison system.”

Savannah Chrisley currently has custody of her brother Grayson and niece Chloe after her parents were sentenced to prison. In 2022, Julie Chrisley, 51, and her husband Todd Chrisley, 55, were found guilty of tax evasion and defrauding community banks of more than $30 million in fraudulent loans. Julie Chrisley was additionally convicted of obstruction of justice and wire fraud.

Later in June of this year, federal judges on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the original conviction against Julie Chrisley due to insufficient evidence.

Judges on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the judge in Chrisley's 2022 trial miscalculated her sentence and found no evidence of her full involvement in the bank fraud for which she was convicted, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY.

Last December, the Palm Beach Post reported that Julie Chrisley would be released from the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky, on Sept. 4, 2028, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website. She was transferred to Kentucky from a federal prison in Florida in January of last year and has not been given an updated release date.

According to People, Julie Chrisley’s re-sentencing hearing is scheduled for September 25.

The past year has been difficult for Savannah Chrisley. Her parents were in prison and her ex-fiancé, former professional hockey player Nicolas Kerdiles, died last year in a motorcycle accident in Nashville, Tennessee, where the Chrisley family had moved from the Atlanta metropolitan area.

But there have been bright spots. She is currently dating Robert Shiver, an insurance executive from Alabama who made headlines last year when he was the victim of a murder conspiracy. His estranged wife, Lindsay Shiver, was charged with conspiring to murder his husband three months after they each filed for divorce.
