The matriarch of the famous Baldwin family, Carol Baldwin, died at 92, and her son, Stephen Baldwin, said he would see her again, as he had the honor of baptizing her.<\/p>\n

According\u00a0to her eldest son, Alec Baldwin, Carol Baldwin died in May in Syracuse, New York. In his post, the actor noted that his mother spent many years of her life advocating for breast cancer research after surviving the disease herself. He honored the impact his mother made in this world.<\/p>\n

Her youngest son, Stephen Baldwin, also took to social media with a post dedicated to his mother. He, however, spoke of Carol\u2019s spiritual impact and shared an intimate moment he and his wife, Kenya, shared with his late mom. \u201cAugust 4th, 2014, this was the day I knew for sure I would never have to worry about my mom again,\u201d the Baldwin son said on\u00a0Instagram.<\/p>\n

The post showed a photo of Carol Baldwin emerging from the water in Skaneateles Lake in 2014 after asking Baldwin and his wife to baptize her. \u201cWhen my mom made this request, I told my wife, \u2018No worries, we\u2019ll do it on our next trip.\u2019 But Kenya said, \u2018No, my love, we will baptize her tomorrow,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Baldwin said \u201cthank God\u201d for his wife\u2019s encouragement and his mother\u2019s willingness to be baptized.<\/p>\n
