Socialite and businesswoman Kim Kardashian broke her silence about the death of her grandmother Mary Jo Shannon, who gained international fame after various special appearances on the reality show “The Kardashians.”

Just a few hours after her mother Kris Jenner made the news public, the reality star took to her Instagram account to say her final goodbye to the one who “taught me what it meant to be a hard-working businesswoman.”

And, according to Kim Kardashian's testimony, it was through her that she learned lessons about work ethic, strength and confidence that have accompanied her since her adolescence.

"You always believed in me, supported me and were my refuge. You truly were the matriarch of our family, and your love lives in each of us," she detailed through her moving publication.

Along with her reflection, Kim Kardashian posted a series of photographs that illustrated the adventures she lived with Mary Jo Shannon in life, from her childhood to her final years: "Your love is interwoven in all of us. I know that you are at peace now," she highlighted.

The famous woman closed the message by joking about her grandmother's love for social media: “I know you're up there in heaven, seeing all the Instagram posts we make about you from that secret account you always used, haha,” she commented.

This is how the news of Mary Jo Shannon's death was confirmed

It was during the afternoon of July 16 that businesswoman Kris Jenner posted an unexpected post on Instagram where she announced the death of her mother. Although the message did not give details about the cause of death, it emphasized the great legacy he left.

"Today we say goodbye to my beautiful mother MJ. There are no words capable of expressing what she has meant to me nor the immense pain of having to say goodbye to her. My mother was the heart of our family," shared the manager and mother of Kim Kardashian.

Along with a portrait of the late Mary Jo, Kris highlighted the life lessons shared by her mother and expressed her gratitude for having instilled family unity in her.

"She taught me everything that really matters: loving family intensely, being kind, being present for those you love, and never taking a single moment together for granted. She taught us that family is everything. She showed us how to love unconditionally and how to find joy in the small details," he continued.

Finally, Kris Jenner assured that "we will find comfort in knowing that a love like yours never truly leaves us (...) Thank you for giving me the most wonderful childhood and such a beautiful and blessed life... I will love you forever, mom. Thank you for giving us everything."
