High Potential star Matthew Lamb has announced the death of his mother.
The 14-year-old, who plays Elliot Radovic in the comedy-drama series, penned an emotional Instagram post this week, saying that his mother Meredith had passed on Saturday 17 October.
“I’m not quite sure how to write this,” he began.
“As I’m sure many of you know, my mama passed away this Saturday. She was everything to me. She taught me school, she taught me empathy, she did everything for our family.
“She always had the biggest smile and she gave the best hugs. Truly the most selfless person I know.It still doesn’t feel real. I’m not sure it ever will.”
Lamb went on: She loved and supported everyone authentically. I’m not sure how we’re going to get through this, but we’re going to try.
“Every day I’m going to miss telling her about my day, and talking to her and watching our favorite shows.
“This isn’t something I ever thought I would have to do. There’s so much she is going to miss in my life, but I’m grateful for the things she was able to experience. I love you, Mama.”
Kaitlin Olson, who plays Lamb’s mother Morgan Gillroy on the hit show, which screens on Disney+ in the UK, commented on his post, saying that his mother was a “gift”.
She added: “She simply overflowed with joy and kindness...and the way she lit up when she looked at you....that can't ever be taken away. You are forever her pride and joy. I am here for you forever.”
Judy Reyes, who plays Lieutenant Selena Soto on the show, wrote: “We saw where you got your shine! I'm so so sorry.”
In an Instagram post, Bercy Talent wrote: “We are truly heartbroken over the sudden passing of dear friend Meredith Lamb, the mother of client Matthew Lamb. Meredith had a heart of gold and was loved by so many in the community.
“Deepest condolences to Matthew, Greg, Alyssa and Regan and her entire family and all who loved her.
