Her son, Glen Harris, gave a statement which was delivered by her agent. It read, “It is with the greatest remorse and sadness to announce that Estelle Harris has passed on today, leaving a hole in my heart too deep to describe. Her kindness, passion, sensitivity, humor, empathy and love were practically unrivaled, and she will be terribly missed by all those who knew her.”

Not only has her passing taken a toll on her birth son, her television son is having trouble processing it as well.

Jason Alexander, who played Estelle’s child on the hit sitcom, took to Twitter to express his remorse. He tweeted, “One of my favorite people has passed – my tv mama, Estelle Harris. The joy of playing with her and relishing her glorious laughter was a treat. I adore you, Estelle. Love to your family. Serenity now and always. #RIPEstelleHarris.”
