RECEIVING TONS OF LOVE AND SUPPORT

Marilyn died on February 8 and Shemar disclosed that he had been crying and screaming since. He has yet to learn the truth surrounding his mother’s sudden passing but he said she battled Multiple Sclerosis and heart issues.

In response to Shemar’s heart-wrenching clip, his fans took to his comments section to offer words of comfort.

“She was a beautiful soul that will never be forgotten,” wrote one sympathetic fan who knew how close Shemar was to his mother.

THEIR EXTRAORDINARY RELATIONSHIP

We learned through his many posts about Marilyn that she was the center of his universe. They would travel and celebrate his career achievements together.

Shemar is Marilyn’s only child. He grew up without the guidance of his father who spent time in prison. This made him very close to Marilyn whom he considers his best friend.

Shemar was also Marilyn’s greatest support system after she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Together they battled the condition and Shemar managed to improve his mother’s quality of life in spite of her debilitating sickness.

“I’m telling you this – I’m not exploiting her on social media. I’m telling you this because you knew her from afar… I’m not famous without her and I made her famous.”

REMEMBERING HAPPY TIMES

Shemar has since posted another tribute to his mom with clips of the two of them. He captioned it,

“My Mama always said “I was at the front of the line when God was handing out sons” .... and I always said “Mama, you know I cut the line to get to you! I love you mama.”

We’re certain that wherever Marilyn is right now, she hears every word and feels every inch of pain his son feels. Our deepest condolences to Shemar. May you find the strength, acceptance and the will to move on after mourning your mother.
