"I've been offline for some weeks now. I've had to keep a secret out of respect. It's my mom... The Bonnie to my Clyde, everything I've ever known. Everything I've ever worked hard for," the actor spoke through tears. 

Shemar shared a lengthy video as he talked about mourning, and in the caption, he added, "Marylin Joan Wilson-Moore, my mother, best friend, and partner in crime passed away Feb 8th at 76 years old... I miss her more than I ever thought possible and I don’t know how to do this life without her."

"But I get my STRENGTH from her and I will be OK because of HER," he continued. "Mama.... here come that man!!!!! What I do from this day forward is for YOU!!!! I’m going to continue to LEAP and pray that the NET appears!! It was too soon .... and it hurts so bad.... but I know you are with me and will continue to give me strength... I love you mama ❤️."
