“[She left] us with a certainty of her never-ending joy of living and whatever adventures lie ahead. As iconic as she was on screen, she was an even more amazing mother and grandmother," the two said.

True and Lillie then went on to thank the incredible team of doctors and nurses at the Moffitt Cancer Center for taking care of Alley when she was still alive.

To end their statement, True and Lille said they will always remember their “mother’s zest and passion for life, her children, grandchildren and her many animals, not to mention her eternal joy of creating, were unparalleled and leave us inspired to live life to the fullest just as she did.”
