“Today, we said goodbye to my beautiful Mommy MJ. 😞💔,” the talent manager wrote at the time. “There are no words that could ever capture what she has meant to me or the heartbreak of having to say goodbye.”
Jenner, 70, credited her mother “the heart of [their] family.”
“She showed us how to love unconditionally and how to find joy in the little moments,” Jenner went on. “She showed me how to face life’s challenges with resilience and faith.”
In her emotional tribute, Jenner also thanked her mom for “every sacrifice [she] made, every piece of wisdom [she] shared, and every moment [she] loved [the family] so completely.”
Kris’ daughters Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian “liked” the post.
Several of the Kardashian-Jenner clan posted tributes of their own for their beloved family member.
Kim Kardashian initially came under fire the day of Shannon’s death for a poorly timed scheduled social media post of her vacation — but soon followed it up with a touching tribute dedicated to her “sweet” grandmother.
“My sweet Grandma MJ, my best friend, my gossip buddy, my forever twin… You taught all of us the importance of family, and those values are something we’ll carry with us forever!!!!! You were the woman who showed me what it meant to be a hardworking businesswoman,” she wrote alongside a carousel of photos showing the reality star and her grandma through the years.
