He went to hospital 6:30am and around 9am, My sisters-in-law was receiving a phone call from my brother just to let us know He couldn’t make it home. Tears running down my eyes like waterfalls seeing you singing, how I could feel your pain, I know healing is really a long journey however He’s for sure is proud of you and watching over you, your sister and mom.
