Not long ago, Days of our Lives star Tamara Braun, who plays hardened mafia princess Ava Vitali on the soap, showed her vulnerability as she let her social media followers know about a dire situation her dear friend was facing. Now she has an update on what happened.

Tamara Braun: A Friend Indeed

The actress took to Instagram to update those who hadn’t as yet heard the news. “Hey everyone. 💗 It’s been a while since I have been able to post. First and foremost, I want to thank all of you for your love, good energy, prayers, well wishes, and donations for my dear friend, my Lovely Lea, Lea Love. I can’t thank you enough.

“The outpouring of support while I was with her in the hospital warmed my heart so deeply, you have no idea,” she continued. “Love is all around. Many of you didn’t know Lea, but you opened your hearts and wallets to help. Truly…no words can express my gratitude enough.”

“If you made a donation to her GoFundMe page then you already know that Lea passed on July 14th,” informed Tamara Braun. “I just wanted to share with the rest of you the news. I couldn’t write until now. I’m sorry. I still don’t know what to write.

“She was surrounded by her 4 children and 4 of us women who were blessed to be able to be with her during her final days and moments. She was surrounded by love as she should be… she gave so much to everyone who knew her. Lea….such a force. A light. A marvel. A mother. A warrior. A friend. She was and will always be so very deep in my heart. A true gift she was, and I will be eternally grateful for her and all the years I had her. I love you, Lea. Thank you for the signs. 🌻💗🐞”

Soap Hub sends condolences to Tamara Braun, Lea’s family, and all of her friends during this very difficult time.
