I'm so sorry to hear this, may God bless her soul in heaven.

At least whatever she was suffering from is now finished. I'm sure she was a great mom and a foundation for Lennox to succeed.

I remember she always was there when he would fight and always showed him so much support like nobody else if you've read his books he'd detail that. He's posted over the past few years that his mother did have Alzheimer's and he was always making sure she was took care off. RIP to her though she can rest now knowing that she raised a son that became a legend

Best wishes Champion. My mum is very ill & can't have long so I know exactly what you're feeling. The link between a mother & child is just something special. We all will pass & you know her life wasn't in vain.
