Claudette Yamin, mother of Season 5 third-place finalist Elliott Yamin, passed away last night. Claudette was a familiar face to fans, as she closely followed her son's journey on American Idol and was always there to support him. In an interview with MSNBC.com in 2006, she said the following of Elliott:
“I always said Elliott was my little lost boy because he never found anything that made him happy. He just never found his niche. And, I guess this is it. I guess this it what he’s been striving for all his life.”In lieu of flowers, the Yamin family asks that donations be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Richmond, Va. chapter.
Messages to the family can be left on Elliott's fan site, ETrainStation.com.
