“Mum’s specialists were stunned by her fighting spirit. She went into palliative care in February, before passing away peacefully last Monday around midday,” he said.
“I was by her side, holding her hand when she took her last breath. She slipped away in her sleep. It was serene. There was no pain. I feel relieved that Mum is finally at peace.”
Shortly after her death, Lawrence shared a deeply personal photograph of his mum a week before her death resting in her hospital bed, and the image went viral.
“A very personal photo of my mum during one of her resting moments, she is so peaceful, soft and serene. I truly love this woman. THIS IS NOT A PICTURE OF MUM WHEN SHE HAD PASSED AWAY, IT WAS TAKEN A WEEK BEFORE SHE PAST,” he wrote.
Lawrence shared this intimate snap of his mother taken a week before her passing.

After undergoing chemo and radiation treatment, the cancer metastasised in Cornelia’s spine and she spent the final months of her life in palliative care.
Not only does she leave behind her son Lawrence and granddaughter Tipani, but also an inspirational legacy as an Australian icon on the silver screen.
The actress was best known for her television roles including Morag Bellingham on Home and Away and host of the quiz series The Weakest Link.
