“She was also an animal lover and activist, and Bo loved spending time with her,” Michelle continued. “There was no one quite like her, and Barack and I join so many who will miss the joy she brought to the world. I know our Bo is looking forward to seeing her up in heaven.”
A greatly beloved figure in American entertainment and popular culture, White was just two and a half weeks away from turning 100 at the time of her passing, according to PEOPLE.
The magazine’s latest issue, released Wednesday in anticipation of White’s centennial birthday celebration, features the five-time Emmy winner on the cover.
“My 100th birthday… I cannot believe it is coming up, and People Magazine is celebrating with me! The new issue of @people is available on newsstands nationwide tomorrow,” White tweeted on Tuesday.
