Gloria Vanderbilt died Monday morning, according to her son, CNN's Anderson Cooper. The fashion designer, artist and socialite was 95.She died at home with friends and family at her side.

 "Gloria Vanderbilt was an extraordinary woman, who loved life, and lived it on her own terms," Cooper said in a statement. "She was a painter, a writer and designer but also a remarkable mother, wife, and friend."She was 95 years old, but ask anyone close to her, and they'd tell you: She was the youngest person they knew -- the coolest and most modern."  

Vanderbilt was diagnosed with an advanced form of stomach cancer earlier this month, Cooper said.

May she rest in peace....so sorry for Anderson....he was very close to his mom...
