Neil Patrick Harris lost his grandmother on Christmas day, and the actor found the simplest yet most moving words he could to remember his beloved.
"My grandma passed away on Thursday night, services are today. Martha Jeanne Harris was 92, lived a long, lovely life. We shared a birthday, 6/15. She'll be missed," he wrote in Instagram.
He posted this message with a picture from the service titled "In Loving Memory."
Martha was the mother of Neil's father Ronald. She is survived by her six grandchildren, including Neil, as well as her 13 great-grandchildren, who include Neil's twins Gideon and Harper.
Before his grandmother passed away, the actor was enjoying Christmas dinner with his husband David Burtka and their twin children at Mario Batali's restaurant Babbo in New York City.
He posted a picture of the twins enjoying their food and wrote on Instagram, "Traditional Feast of the Seven Fishes. Delicious! Gideon and Harper are in holiday heaven. Thanks, Mario. #joy."
