LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Suzanne Somers’ son, Bruce Somers Jr, and his wife, Caroline Somers, have paid touching tributes to the late actress after she peacefully passed away at her home on October 15 following a 23-year-long battle with cancer.
Suzanne shared Bruce with her ex-husband, Bruce Somers Sr.
Both Bruce and Caroline took to social media on October 16, to post their touching tributes to Bruce's “brave warrior” mother.
How did Bruce Somers Jr remember Suzanne Somers on social media?
Posting a sweet photo of the 'Three’s Company' star giving him a kiss on the cheek on Instagram, Bruce began by saying, "She soared higher than most can dream."
“She protected those who didn’t have a voice. She asked the questions most didn’t know to ask. She shared her challenges and brought light to solutions. To so many she was a brave warrior who articulated their fears. She wasn’t fearless, but she faced them so we could learn,” he wrote in the heartfelt tribute post.
“She was a friend, a wife, a sister, a daughter, an entertainer, an icon, and a legend. But to me, she was just Mom. I had the privilege as the only person who could call her that. Growing up, it was us against the world. And then she took the world by storm,” he continued.
Admitting that death arrives "always too soon, no matter how prepared we may be," the UCLA graduate proceeded to share, "But she will live through me as she taught me to be kind, to be present, to love and be loved, to care, to express, and to always speak from the heart… because THAT is the voice of God."
"Mom, you left me with all the tools, though I’ll still need your guiding spirit around me. I feel you and know you are there. But I will miss your sweet hand and caring eyes that would look deep into my soul for verification that everything was okay."
Thanking Suzanne "for being the best mother any son could ever dream of," Bruce concludes by saying, "I miss you already. Call me greedy, but 57 years wasn’t enough. And yet, I received more love than I could ever imagine. I love you so dearly."
The grieving son ended the post with, "Happy Birthday on what would have been your 77th birthday. Please gorge on all the birthday cake you want while you make all the other angels sing, dance, laugh and cry. Today, Heaven is lucky."
