We send our deepest condolences to his family. It is impossible to comprehend the exceptional nature of this man’s personal triumph over these heavy and unrelenting challenges.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) announced Saturday that his sister had died, the latest in a year of personal trials for the first-term governor diagnosed with cancer last June.
“My heart is broken,” Hogan said. “My only sister passed away this morning. Mary Theresa Lazarus was the best big sister anyone could ever ask for.”
Lazarus, 66, died of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease — a rare, degenerative, brain disorder that affects about 1 in 1 million people per year worldwide — according to Hogan spokesman Matt Clark.
Hogan said Lazarus was a married mother of three and grandmother of eight.
“I was always so proud of her,” the governor said. “She was a wonderful wife to her husband Bob, and an incredible mother of my niece Becky, my nephews Keith and Kevin and the greatest grandmother of her eight grandchildren.”
Please keep the family in your prayers. You may send condolences to Governor Larry Hogan, 100 State Circle, Annapolis, MD 21401.
