Tyler Perry's mother passed away Tuesday, and was confirmed by him on his site. She passed away at the age of 64, she was the inspiration of his famous character Madea. Last night he was among Barbera Walters' Most Fascinating People of 2009. In his interview he stated that his mom's dream was to have a big house like on a soap opera and a maid...and Tyler made sure she got that. Even though this is sad news; it's good to see she got to see her son be very successful and he made her dream come true.
