To my beloved Son, I wanted to let you know I made it through Thansgiving (barely) with Jesus Christ and my love for you both. Now Christmas coming, it is heart breaking to think of you not being here. I know God and you will help me again. I know so much more now on the ways I could have been there for you, got you to the Doctor. I cant understand why I didn't think about your high blood pressure. Why did you not take your meds.? Oh son I am trying so hard to get through this part. I just wanted to tell you again ( you was a wonderful Son so caring for me and all others . Son I am a Christian now ,You taught me how to be forgiving and to serve the Lord. I am very involed with the church. I have so many ministries at church . I love the Lord Jesus Christ and I still mean for you to wait for me at the Gates, to meet me there. You was my best friend and a good son to me.I will never forget your smile and your Love. Your son is doing much better, he loves going to the Warm Place, they are really helping him. He ask me Ouestions all the time , things about you , When you was young. He is a trooper.Well son I will go for now . I just wanted to talk for a little while. I really miss our chat times.I Love you with all my heart and will never forget you as long as me and your son is alive and we mention your name, you will always be remembered. My Lord Jesus Christ, hold him close he always needed a little extra Love. It left a whole in my heart when I lost you. Son I know my Savior will help me heal this pain. I LOVE YOU DONNY, MY SON. Till we meet again, Your MOM
