I hope it's ok to make a separate topic on this.

Wasn't sure how I would have to say these words so I opt for simplicity at least to begin...

My mother passed away this morning just a short time ago, peaceful with my sister by her side, in her sleep. I was going to visit this afternoon, thought I had time. Reminder to self - time is a precious thing. I too am at peace however. I said my goodbyes several times over during the last few weeks. I'll go one last time now for a gentle kiss a final farewell for this lifetime. She has been a blaze her entire life, that beacon, that boxer I spoke of earlier. She went the full twelve rounds and by unanimous decision... won! And while her light finally gave into the wind that gives flight to all our journeys, there will always be a glimmer left behind by what she stood for. I will speak about that more in coming days, months I suppose. I will certainly dedicate what remains of my life to continue her purpose of honesty, equality, humility, empathy and love. So many of you have said your prayers for her and right now, today, I can say the best way to honor her is to inhabit your lives with those things she stood for. I would ask that closer friends respectfully give us some time to find our family's path in this transition, and please limit calls, emails and the rest for a couple of days. As always, your outpouring of love here on this page, is not only welcomed to continue but truly appreciated and comforting. I asked my sister what time she passed exactly, and she told me (not to important for public record) but I was working out and just happened to pick out a song for my final moments on the treadmill - "Everlasting Light" by the Black Keys. Oh what a wonder it all is... what a magnificence!

I just wish they would invite Kay Alden back to help right the memorial episode and also include the classic background music which is necessary for a time like this.

I'm positive they'll at least use Nadia's Theme.

It's probably the only classic cue they will use.

But I'm really impressed by this decision: its a more than welcome surprise to that they do an entire tribute episode. On Memorial day no less which Y&R has often used for storyline purposes. Thumbs up! This is gonna be heartbreaking. John McCook and Doug Davidson knew Jeanne the longest (on-set), so this is gonna be interesting...

I want them so much to play the 70's "Katherine's theme" music they use to play during more of the dramatic scenes involving Katherine. That's the theme that starts at 7:32 during this clip.

Send it to RC Cates on twitter. He was taking music suggestions not to long ago.

I didn't realize CBS Sunday Morning did a segment on her. Of course, they're wrong about Katherine being the longest serving character on the show, as that distinction belongs to Jill.

Apparently, this was at the end of today's US episode:

THE mirror scene. Talk about one of Y&R's most iconic moments. The writing, the directing and most of all Jeanne Cooper did a terrific job.

It's a breathtaking scene. I posted the video on YouTube, you can find it a few pages back if you want to!

Wow! They really turned this around fast.

Any news if Gina Roma will be there? I know Jeanne and actress that played Gina are very good friends in real life.

The last I heard was Patty Weaver had health issues of her own.

Heartbreaking....

I feel so bad for Jess.

I really do hope that whatever happens they make Katherine's legacy live on.
