“This is me and my dear friend @bertbelasco8,” posted Brown of her pal, actor Bert Belasco, best known for his work on the series Let’s Stay Together. “He passed away yesterday at the age of 38. Just got the news today. I am heartbroken. I just talked to him last week. He called to tell me about all the good things happening in his life and how much hope he had for the future. We promised to meet up as soon as #Covid allowed and I wished him well on the new project he was flying out soon to start.

“The tragic and sudden loss of this kind, gentle, loving man is a reminder to us all,” adds the actress. “No day is promised. Any second could be your last.

“I am BEGGING you to redeem the time. Reclaim your moments,” Brown adds. “And please say what needs to be said TODAY. Do it now. Don’t wait to make the call. Return the text or get on the zoom call NOW! Whatever way you know to let the ones you love KNOW, do that now. Build bridges. Heal wounds. Do it today. Do it now.

“I am happy to say that there was nothing left unsaid between me and my dear friend, Bert,” the actress shares. “He knew I loved him and I know he loved me. That is the ONLY thing giving me solace right now. The ONLY thing. I love all of y’all. And I mean it. ❤️.”
