Buddy had no idea this would be the last time he would see her alive.
Buddy will actually cherish the last moments he spent with his mom. He shared saying, “I got to sit by her and say, ‘Ma, I owe everything to you. I wouldn’t be who I am without you. You’re my No. 1 girl,.’ I got to say my peace. I got to say goodbye to her.” Buddy was obviously very close with his mom. He shared about how she was very energetic and would even sing over the loudspeaker at the bakery.
Now, Buddy has a slideshow that was put together of when his mom was on the show, Cake Boss, and also the show, Kitchen Boss. He is glad to have this so that he can watch it now.
