According to CNN Florence Henderson a.k.a Carol Brady the mom from the "Brady Bunch" TV series has passed away at the age of 82 due to heart failure.

Her manager stated that the actress had not been sick and that everyone is "in a state of shock" at the moment.

It's no surprise that the news is coming as a shock to almost everyone considering she not only seemed to be in good health but she was such an iconic character in many peoples lives. Whether you grew up on the original episodes or the re-runs, Carol Brady was like a mom to us all.

I feel like 2016 has been chalked full of loss and frankly I'm ready for 2017 to arrive in hopes of a bit more joy and a lot less sorrow. R.I.P Florence, you will live forever in hearts and in syndication.
