“Early yesterday morning, I got the news that Markie Post has passed away,“Warfield wrote Sunday on Facebook, noting she kept the news private until it went public.
“But, I’m not surprised she didn’t let on what she was going through, she wouldn’t have wanted us to worry,” Warfield said. “She has been, and will be, described as perky, bubbly, sweet, etc. And she was. But, she was also real, caring and kind. I never heard a cross word from, to, or about her.”

“To know Markie Post was to fall head over heels in love with her. Yesterday, I got a call from @meganparkithere that we had lost her,” the actress wrote alongside two photos of her with Post as well as a special Mother’s Day message from years past.
“Back in June of 2013, we’d had this magical summer together making a movie in Louisiana with @dllewis82 . @tylerhilton and I reunited for the first time since OTH, and Markie was cast as my mother.

Burton said Post helped nurture her as a young mother and would often visit theOne Tree Hillalum’s apartment and read books to her son.
“She was just so good at loving people. It came so easy to her. The way she talked about her husband and daughters….I wanted to be loved like that. I wanted to LOVE like that,” Burton wrote.

“To her family? Michael. Kate. Daisy. The ones she lit UP when she spoke of? The ones who put a twinkle and a sparkle in her eye? Man oh man she loved you. Man oh man am I sorry to see her go. How grateful I am that you shared her with me. That I got to borrow her and her boundless heart. Thank you, forever,” she concluded.
