Hogestyn posted a beautiful picture of his mom along with this caption to his Twitter account: “We’ve all lost some great ones lately…I just lost the greatest. Love you Mom.”

In his tribute Hogestyn does not specify when his mother passed, but his fans are no doubt grateful for the opportunity to share their condolences with the actor.
Also in December, former, “General Hospital,” star Rick Springfield (Dr. Noah Drake) reported the passing of his mother.
The actor posted this heartfelt tribute on his Facebook page, “My Mummy in Australia has passed away. She died while bringing in her washing from the clothes line. Sat on her walker and passed facing the blue spruce that my Dad planted in the backyard.” Springfield’s mother passed away on December 21.
