Sunday s daughter Kennedy confirmed her mother s passing with a touching Instagram post shared by TMZ. To my unbelievably beautiful mama, thank you. Thank you for fighting as hard as you did for as long as you did. Thank you for being a best friend, a role model, a sister, and my mother all in one. Thank you for raising me to love Jesus, and show that love to others. That s something you did so well, Kennedy wrote.
She shared that she loved taking care of her mom during these last few months, and that the Survivor star was her favorite patient. I love you to heaven and back a million times, she concluded. I know one day we will meet again. Until then, I ll spend every minute missing you, and trying to make you proud. Rest easy mom, I ll see you soon.

Sunday did my show a few times and I really liked her. I am so sad to hear of her death &my heart goes out to her family. RIP Sunday.
