It’s never easy to say goodbye, especially to someone who means the world to you. For Kidada Jones, the daughter of the late Peggy Lipton, that goodbye came far too soon. Peggy, best known for her iconic role in The Mod Squad, passed away last month at the age of 72 after battling cancer. Now, Kidada has taken to Instagram to honor her beloved mother with a heartfelt post that resonates with anyone who has lost someone special. Let's take a closer look at this touching tribute.
A Legacy of Love
Peggy Lipton wasn’t just an actress; she was a mother, a mentor, and a guiding light to her two daughters, Kidada Jones and Rashida Jones, the beloved star of Parks and Recreation. Her legacy extends beyond the screen, touching the lives of those she loved most. Kidada's tribute captures the depth of their connection in a way that’s both poetic and deeply personal.
In her post, Kidada shared a quote from Washington Irving: “There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.” These words perfectly encapsulate the emotions Kidada must be feeling in this difficult time.

A Mother-Daughter Bond Like No Other
Kidada's tribute goes beyond just words. She shared a beautiful photo of herself and her mother from years ago, a reminder of the bond that will always exist between them. “My precious Mommy. Our love existed before we did. We were a constant prayer in each other’s hearts that manifested on this material plane,” she wrote. “Our bond knows no beginning and no end.”
She continued, “Our souls… intertwined in an eternal dance of destiny, for I know we will meet up again and again. Although my being aches deeply for your physical presence, I pray you are enveloped in that infinite space of knowing and love.” It’s clear that Kidada sees her mother’s passing not as an end, but as a transition to another form of existence. This perspective offers comfort and hope for those left behind.
A Safe Passage Into Heaven
Kidada’s message doesn’t stop at celebrating her mother’s life; it also offers a prayer for her safe passage into the next realm. “May God and every heavenly host meet you where heaven and earth touch and gently guide you on your soul journey,” she wrote. “May you be reunited with the source we all begin from and end with. God.” This part of the tribute reflects a deep spiritual connection and faith in something greater than ourselves.
She concludes her post with a reminder of her mother’s enduring impact: “You are my north star, the light of my life and I will FOREVER savor the privilege and good fortune of being your daughter. I will never not miss you. I will slowly learn to live without the piece of me that left with you on May 11th. Endless love, Kidada.” Her words are a testament to the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child.
Peggy Lipton may have left this world, but her legacy lives on through her daughters and the countless fans who loved her. Kidada’s tribute reminds us all of the power of love, even in the face of loss.
