My heart hurts and breaks for her and her family
WOW that’s so sad I hope her mom is ok
This is truly terrible.
With her mom as a guest Savannah opened America's News every single morning ! Now she is the News! Condolences to her WORK family as well
Who cares!
I don’t care what my mom says but she’s definitely not living alone with zero security at 84 years old with severe health issues… hell will freeze over before I let that happen.
The power of prayer 🙏 is so strong don’t give up!
