HEATHER Tom is sad because her mom died.
She played Katie Logan on The Bold and the Beautiful.
It was hard for the actress to say goodbye to the woman she called her “most important influence.”
Heather sent a video and several photos to Instagram to honor her mother, Marie.
The actress also wrote a long, poignant message.
As my mother passed away at 12:20 a.m. on Sunday, my brother David, sister Nicholle, and Michael, who was her only child and not adopted, held her hand, kissed her face, and whispered “I love you.”
“She was my biggest champion and my most important influence.”
Heather talked about how her mom liked toy poodles, Mexican food, margaritas, and Elvis Presley.
She also said that she helped her move her family to Los Angeles, even though Marie was a single mother.
“Any talent we have is hers.” “Anything that drives us is hers,” Heather said.
“I’ll miss her every day, but every time I look into my son’s eyes, I’ll see her there, because they are hers.”
I am so thankful that I was able to put my hand on her heart as she died. I will feel her hand on mine until I die too. Mama, I love you. Take it easy. “You deserve it.”
