Amanda Kloots has been left heartbroken after the death of her mother-in-law, almost three years after the death of her husband Nick Cordero.

"My heart is broken today. Nick’s mother, my mother-in-law, Lesley Cordero, has passed away,'' Amanda shared on social media alongside a series of pictures of Lesley with her family. "Thank you for loving me, taking me in as your daughter. Thank you for loving Elvis and being the best grandma."

Amanda went on to share how the pair became "very close" when Nick became sick with COVID-19 in 2020.

"We were soldiers going to battle every day, fighting for the man we loved. We traded hours at the hospital and comforted each other's tears at night. She was a powerhouse, a woman of great strength and great advice. She was a huge help to me as a fellow widow, understanding how to navigate this new life," Amanda continued, sharing how Nick and his mom were close and that their relationship was "one of the first things that I loved about Nick".

"I admired their honesty, their friendship, and their incredible bond," she wrote, adding that she hopes Lesley is now "at peace - healthy, happy, no longer in any pain or suffering".

"I will miss you tremendously. Thank you for loving me, taking me in as your daughter. Thank you for loving Elvis and being the best grandma. Rest in peace mom. I’ll love you forever," Amanda concluded.
