Day of the dead altar in memorial of the apples

Hello everycreature again. Surprised for having a second drawing after a really short time? I know, it is completely unexpected. I got this idea in mind suddenly one day two weeks ago. In case you don't know, Mexicans usually celebrate the day of the dead during November 1st and 2nd. It is a celebration of the life of their death beloved family and friends, a way to them with different traditions including an altar like this one I drew. Just to clarify, I'm not Mexican and I don't have close Mexican family or something similar, but I like so much the spirit of the celebration and its aesthetic. I also got a lot of help from a Mexican friend of mine who helped me to do the drawing with the right elements without making big mistakes. Oh, and another short clarification, the drawings of the pictures are screencaps of the show.
Bright Mac and Pear Butter were without a doubt, really nice characters, even if we couldn't see anything of them in the present of the show. I think it is clear because of their story how important they were for the apple family. This artwork is then a small tribute to them. We'll always remind you.
This is also a good moment to remind my grandmother who ed away this June. I'll always you too.

Did they away?
Did they get into some sort of accident?
Did something (or somepony) killed them?
What do YOU think happened to them?
I'm pretty sure they're dead for the present time of the show. In the episode Crusaders of the Lost Mark, Applejack tell really emotional to Apple Bloom that mom and dad would be so proud of her, and the three brothers cry uncontrollably, so, for me, there is no doubt that they aren't alive anymore.
About how they died, I think it is really complex and we literally have no clue of what happened. What we surely know is that they had to die really young, considering how Apple Bloom is still pretty young in the present time of the show, and also, that Granny Smith is still alive too. For me, the most logical explanation would be that some kind of really strong illness hit them and there wasn't anything somepony could do, or they simply ed away for some kind of accident transporting products to another city.
