“Family and friends, thank you for all the love, prayers, and encouragement. I can’t use the words right now. Please know I will be in touch when I can.”
Connie ended her statement by pleading with fans to keep the Boss family in their prayers, adding a personal note to her son, “Stephen Laurel, your mother loves you forever and ever. ? ?.” His wife, Holker, has also released a statement, saying:
“Stephen lights up every room he walks into. He values family, friends, and community above all else, and leading with love and light is everything to him.”
