The family had a touching message engraved onto it.
“America’s Mom,” it begins.
“Loved by her family and adored by millions.
The love of my life, my sweetheart for 45 years.
I’ll love you ‘til the 12th of never.”
Another personal message from Whitney was overlaying the video.
“My mother was interred on December 17, 2022,” she wrote.
“This is the first time since Christmas that I’ve felt able to come back.
I love you, Sweet Mommy.”
“Does grief just erase your memory?”
“I fully believed yesterday that I had not been there since December.”
The charming southern matriarch named Babs Thore was cherished by her family, friends, and fans alike.
The family received criticism for the episode, but Whitney quickly set the record straight.
“My father wanted the funeral to be public and he wanted the public to come.
He asked to post on social media,” she said in an interview withEntertainment Tonight.
“Nothing makes him happier than people loving my mother.
He is so proud of her and so obsessed with her.
And he likes to, you know, she’s a public figure.
She was loved publicly and I want her to be mourned publicly.”
