Happy 95th Birthday to my mom, @gloriavanderbilt. Still painting everyday @gloriavanderbiltstudio. Still dreaming and creating, still believing the next great love is right around the corner. Who knows? Maybe she is right? I love you, Mom.

Anderson Cooper shared the news that his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, had died at the age of 95 from stomach cancer, in a statement earlier this morning. The CNN correspondent shared the below eulogy on air:

“Gloria Vanderbilt was an extraordinary woman who loved life and lived it on her own terms. She was a painter, a writer, a designer — but also a remarkable mother, wife and friend. She was 95 years old, but ask anyone close to her and they’d tell you she was the youngest person they knew, the coolest and most modern. She died this morning the way she wanted to, at home surrounded by family and friends.”
