Claudette Yamin, mother of singer Elliott Yamin, died last night. She was 65.
_
She had been hospitalized during the weekend at Henrico Doctors’ Hospital. Her cause of death was not released.

A message posted last night on Elliott Yamin’s Web site by his good friend Brandon Crowe said, “The world lost a beautiful soul. I can’t go into any details at this time except to say that she went peacefully.”

Crowe’s message on etrainstation.com said the family has asked for privacy and that in lieu of sending flowers, donations can be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Central Virginia chapter. (Elliott Yamin has Type 1 diabetes).

Besides Elliott, Claudette Yamin is survived by her younger son, Scott Yamin, who is in pharmacy school at Campbell University in Buies Creek, N.C., and her daughter, Jodi Queen, who lives in San Diego.

Neon Limelight would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to Elliott and his entire family at this difficult time.

My Prayers goes to Yamin and his family May God rest her soul in heaven.
