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!

They better do Kays death right I want Brock back for this!!

RIP Jeanne

In honor of the lovely Jeanne Cooper, I will be uploading some key scenes of hers that I have. Starting with a classic: Kay runs away.

Thank you!

Y&R better acknowledge Jeanne Cooper's passing by having Kay pass away as well. And they better do it right.

They should do a one day tribute called the Book of Kay and fill it with mostly flashbacks of iconic moments.

I hope they avoid a recast. I guess Jill is the new Kay anyway given history.

I feel for her family.

This is just really heartbreaking. My thoughts are with her family. Corbin

I'm going to miss her.

This seriosuly sucks. I hope her suffering was minimal and is in peace.

Sadly, not very likely. They'll do a marathon for 90210 and One Tree Hill but they never acknowledge the passing of a veteran/daytime legend

They don't have Y&R marathons on that channel. Sicne Y&R reruns are moving to TVGuide network soon anyway they should do a tribute on that channel

I just red that this was Jeanne Cooper's final scenes as Katherine. Talk about a poetic ending for a character. Brava Ms. Cooper, she truly did leave this world on top.

Over the years, I have loved and hated Katherine Chandler, but she rarely ever bored me. Jeanne's performances brought many years of entertainment to my life as well as other soap fans. I wish Jeanne well on her journey home. May she rest in peace.

Fabulous gifs!

Someone mentioned it earlier that me-TV should pay homage to Jeanne Cooper and they are on May 9th. Thinking about it again, they bring back Dina & John for this occasion too.

Thank you!

You're welcome!

It's my small way of paying tribute.

Her final scenes were filmed on Y&R's 40th anniversary day (March 26), btw.
