Connie Boss Alexander, the mother of Stephen tWitch Boss , has spoken out in the wake of his death earlier this week. The grieving mom penned an emotional note about her son in a since-expired Instagram Story on Thursday admitting she cant use words right now.

Family and friends, thank you all for the love, prayers and encouragement, wrote Alexander, per People . Please know I see all the messages, texts, posts and the phone calls. I cant use words right now. Please know I will reach out when I can.

The heartbreaking note ended with an address to Boss himself: Stephen Laurel, your mother loves you to eternity and beyond.

Boss, a former So You Think You Can Dance breakout star and subsequent DJ on The Ellen DeGeneres Show , was found dead Tuesday from reportedly a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Los Angeles , California. His wife, Allison Holker Boss, announced his passing earlier this week.
