This is so sad. A mere 4 months after the death his father, Dancing with the Stars host, Tom Bergeron, has lost his mother, Catherine “Kay” Bergeron. She died at age 81 after battling cancer. Tom announced the news in a series of tweets:
4 months ago my Mom lost the love of her life. Now we've gathered at her bedside. They never did like being apart. pic.twitter.com/PL7ihAw1c1

Tom will understandably miss the DWTS reveal set for GMA Tuesday morning. He promises he’ll be back to host the DWTS premiere on March 21.
Thank you so much for your words of support & sympathy. I'll miss @GMA Tues. for my Mom's services, but can't wait to get back to work 3/21

Tom thanks fans for their kind words. Sometimes twitter ain’t so bad.
Social media is often damned for exposing our basest instincts. Your tweets about my mom's death show a healing connection is also possible!
