The 60-year-old supermodel shared an image on Twitter saying, 'The struggle is real, but so is God,' along with the caption 'Rise'. 
Bowie, whose ground-breaking music inspired generations during a career spanning six decades, died on Sunday at the age of 69 after being diagnosed with cancer.

Before his marriage to Iman, Bowie was married to Angie Barnett from 1970 to 1980, with their son Duncan, originally known as Zowie Bowie, born in 1971.
Duncan Jones is now a successful film director whose works include 2009's Moon and Source Code, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, from 2011.
Iman has not spoken directly about his death but posted a series of cryptic tweets at the weekend.

In an interview with Harper's Bazaar magazine in 2010, the supermodel said and her husband would never fight, and said she 'still fancied him after all these years'.
She said: 'David doesn't fight. 
'He is English, so he just stays quiet. I'm the screamer. 
'Then he always makes me laugh. It's like cabaret. 
'I keep him entertained too. I still fancy him—totally!—after all these years.'
She said she loved all of her husband's songs, but her particular favourites were 'Heroes' and 'Suffragette City' - which she and her daughter would dance to.

The model's Instagram page is filled with images of her husband, with several posted over the last few days, showing photographs of Bowie and the couple together. 
In a 2014 interview, Iman told The Guardian: 'I fell in love with David Jones. 
'I did not fall in love with David Bowie. Bowie is just a persona. He's a singer, an entertainer. 
'David Jones is a man I met.'
She also said her husband was something of a 'homebody' who liked his own company.
She added: 'David is even more of a homebody than I am. At least I go to parties once in a while.
'I also think there is nothing that he hasn't seen. He's been to all the parties that there are.'

In the 2013 Interview article, Iman said the key to a happy marriage was 'to respect one another'.
She told Naomi Campbell: 'First I think you’ve got to feel hot for each other and respect each other. 
'That’s where it starts. Also, we are very private so we decided from early on that we will keep the press and editors and everybody out of our house. 
'So we totally understand the difference between the public and the private. And we have fun with each other. 
'He’s very English in a way that he’s a gentleman.'

Bowie, who was born David Jones in Brixton, South London and brought up in the suburb of Bromley, began his career as a novelty musician before finding fame in 1969 with the hit Space Oddity.
During the 1970s, Bowie was regarded as one of the most radical and ground-breaking musicians in the world, ushering in the glam rock era with his Ziggy Stardust persona.
He continued to mix experimental concepts with traditional pop songs in albums such as Heroes, Low and Diamond Dogs, as well as acting in films such as The Man Who Fell to Earth and The Last Temptation of Christ.
In recent years Bowie's career revived once again despite his keeping a relatively low public profile - three years ago The Next Day was a best-seller, while new album Blackstar - tipped to go straight to number one this week - has received positive reviews. 
At the height of his fame in 1970 he declared that he was bisexual, instantly propelling him to the status of gay icon.
Bowie was married twice - he wed first wife Angie in 1970, and the couple's son Duncan was born the next year before they divorced in 1980. He later married supermodel Iman, having a daughter named Alexandria who is now 15.
