I’m deeply grieving the loss of my most cherished friend, my dear mother, Judy Loe – a renowned British actress. This week, she left us at the age of 78 after a long battle with cancer.
The actress mentioned that her mother, who had spent many years as a dedicated teacher in public schools, focused her life on educating the younger generation. She passionately championed arts education, she noted, and emphasized that the passing of Mrs. DeBose would have a profound effect on her mother’s community, as she was an incredibly powerful influence: “She was a colossal force.
A group of well-known celebrities like Quinta Brunson from “Abbott Elementary”, Yvonne Orji who was on “Insecure”, Julianne Hough, a former “Dancing With the Stars” professional, and fitness trainer Amanda Kloots showed their support for DeBose by commenting when she announced some news. Not only did DeBose express her grief over losing her mother, but she also pointed out various charities where people could donate in her mother’s memory.
What I’m most pleased about and hold dearest is making my mother proud, as expressed by DeBose. ‘I love you, Mommy.’ Now, soar among the oceans, breezes, and angels, much like you enjoyed doing, for that was always dear to your heart.
