Martina McBride is mourning the loss of her mother Jeanne Schiff, who died Friday following emergency heart surgery.
"My mom passed away this morning," she shared on Facebook. "She was a complex and amazing woman. Strong. Chic. No-nonsense. Hilarious. Witty. She had the prettiest hair and skin and hands...I loved her hands. She took good care of us. Loved to tell stories. Our house was always the house where all the aunts, uncles, and cousins gathered, and she was really the reason for that."
Martina said she was able to spend the last week in ICU with her mother, and was able to hold her hand, rub her shoulders and stroke her face. “(I) told her I loved her and she told me she loved me,” Martina notes. “Even though I wish it had ended differently I wouldn’t have traded that time with her for anything,” adding, “So now we try and move forward without our matriarch. And somehow, in time, we will. Because she taught us how to be strong. I love you Mom."
