When it comes to grand gestures of love, Alan Hamel nailed it. Just one day before her tragic passing, Suzanne Somers, best known for her role in “Three’s Company,” received an unforgettable early birthday present from her husband.
Close sources let us in on the details: Hamel penned a moving love poem for his wife, presenting it alongside her best-loved pink peonies.
On the eve of her 77th birthday, Somers, who had been fighting breast cancer for years, cozied up with her touching gift, reading it before drifting off into a peaceful slumber, from which she wouldn’t awaken.
That poem? It spoke volumes about their love. “Words? There aren’t enough,” it began. Delving deep, it addressed the ineffable nature of love, even suggesting that scholars had yet to find the right term to describe their bond. In the end, Hamel simply dubbed it “us,” a term reflecting the unique, magical connection they shared.
Chatter has it that Hamel was right there, holding her hand in her final moments. “She passed away peacefully in their dreamy ‘all green home’ in Palm Springs,” a close buddy said.
R. Couri Hay, Somers’ PR guru for years, released a touching statement confirming the actress’ demise. He revealed plans for a birthday bash had been in the works. Now, they’ll be celebrating the vibrant life she led.
