Evelyn, We have not met, but PJ was my bf, Kevin Sabith's, good friend.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

I've met PJ's step mother, too.
No comment on that.

You can find me on Facebook if you'd like to talk.

My heart breaks for you.


I hope that Kevin, Pete, and PJ are together in heaven.

God Bless
