My nephew, the one that when I held you as a baby, made me want to have Damien and Jett. This is still a devastating nightmare and bad dream that I just want to wake up from rn. These are pictures of my birthday when we floated down the river and spread Grandpa’s ashes. We laughed and had a blast. Thank God the last text you sent in the family chat last night was “Miss yu all can’t wait 2 see yall!”

At this time, I ask that you respect my family’s privacy & when arrangements are made, I will inform anyone. If you can pray for my family to get through this tragic time, we appreciate it greatly.
