She knew how to bring the type of energy her character needed."

"She was also Jerry's mom and follows Estelle Harris. She died 2 weeks ago and was George's mom."
A third penned: "The characters George Costanza & Jerry Seinfeld both lost their moms within 2 weeks of each other. R.I.P Estelle Harris & Liz Sheridan, thanks for the laughs."
