Cameron Mathison Wrote That His Mother Was Always Giving & Loving
On October 26, Mathison shared his tribute via his Instagram page. He included a wide variety of photos of his mom from over the years. Some were from the days early in her marriage, and several showed her with Mathison, his ex-wife, Vanessa Mathison, and their kids, Lucas and Leila.
One photo showed his mom by his side as he was going through cancer treatments. Another appeared to be Mathison with his father and brother. The photo showed the three men with their wrapped their arms around one another’s shoulders as they looked out at the ocean. It seems likely this was taken as the family bid a final farewell to Mathison’s mother.
In the caption of his new tribute post, Mathison wrote, “She fought such a brave battle with brain cancer, and even through it all, she never stopped smiling.”
He continued, “Just the most loving, devoted mom — always there for her sons, always giving, always full of light. She spent her life caring for others, working for the Ministry of Health of Ontario, and somehow still. had endless love left for her family.”
The first photo showed a vase of yellow roses with a framed photo of Lucas and Leila in front of it. Mathison noted in his caption that yellow roses had always been her favorite.

The loss of his mother is just one of several heartbreaking journeys Mathison has had to navigate in recent years.

Through it all, Mathison has focused on gratitude and perseverance, inspiring fans and colleagues alike.
I know what I’d like to lose a mom. Mine left 13 years ago. There isn’t a day that goes by that she is not present to me. I remember your mom when she would come on the show that you did on hallmark and cook she always had that beautiful smile. Bless you Cameron
