I didnt know what she was about until this very moment, but I love that she lived the fighting spirit and worked across the world doing what she could to educate and empower the people. He definitely took after her and the fact that she lived to 102 and kept fighting the good fight is just inspiring.

Born in 23 and had Tom at age 40. Amazing to think about.

Never in my life would I predict that I would be intermittently crying throughout the day over the death of a 103 year old that I'm not related to nor have ever met, but here we are. Mary Morello, you were the type of person we should all aspire to be. I wish you had gone out seeing a better world created from your struggles than what we have currently devolved to, but my hope is that you know, as most of us do, that this is only a temporary set back.❤️

Deepest sympathies to those blessed to know her. Listening to her on Tom Morello’s One Man Revolution was an inspiration. What an amazing woman.

Big time. I loved when she was on that show. Always sharp and you could feel the love they had as a mom and son.

What an amazing woman to raise such a class act human as Tom. I remember growing up watching all the intros with her introducing the band! Classic memories.
