Robin Roberts Mother Funeral Schedule Conflicted With Her Cancer Treatment

Robin Roberts' mother Lucimarian Tolliver Roberts' recent death last Thursday (August 30, 2012) left the Good Morning America sad yet thankful for being able to be there for her last breath.  Robin was scheduled to begin cancer treatment on Wednesday Sept 5, but had to postpone the date in order to make it to her mother's funeral.  

Roberts shared on her GMA blog, "Today I was supposed to be admitted to the hospital...instead I am here in Mississippi standing proudly with my family as we honor our beloved mother and celebrate her life."

"When I return to NYC and walk through those hospital doors next week momma will be right there with me. Light, love and blessings to all."

88-year-old Roberts was laid to rest in Gulfport on Wednesday night.  Over 700 attendants arrived to honor mother Roberts.  

"Momma found a way to be with me every step of the way on my journey. I am humbled by her selflessness," Robin said.
