One of the most heartbreaking messages came from actress Melissa Joan Hart, who worked together with Markie in Holiday in Handcuffs.

“I’m heartbroken to lose an angel here on earth! My dear friend and TV mother [Markie Post] is finally at rest after a long hard battle with cancer. I can’t describe what she meant to me, the friendship we had and the kindness she demonstrated for me… Love you so much Markie! You will be forever missed!,” Melissa wrote on Instagram.

Markie always seemed so kind, strong & confident every time I saw her on a show or in interviews.

I’m so sorry to hear about her passing. I didn’t know she was fighting cancer. She was such a good actress and I always enjoyed her performances.
