My dear Mom, Patricia (89) just passed away while I was onstage with Wally Kurth. With my Dad and sisters-she was lucid and peaceful. She was probably the first actor I ever encountered and she always encouraged me. Even when rendered speechless by stroke she could say more!❤️Mom pic.twitter.com/ubjOSH5ztv
