Freddy Mcgregor - Just don't want to be lonely

[@Syble]

Missing my Mommy! I hate cancer. It took Mommy away from me to be tortured by the fact that she's gone everyday for the rest of my life. Folks....love your Mothers all you can while she's here,because, once she's gone, there will be some dark days ahead. God Bless you!

[@FFhilly]

Sorry RIP , she's in a better place.

[@markie1979]

Feel that im 37 i lost my Amazing Mum when i was 11

[@blueangeloftheseas]

awww don't worry your sweet little heart, your mommy is still very much alive each time you smile at her memories, each time you look in the mirror. Her spirit lives on in and around you, the beautiful life she created 💞💞

[@donnah5378]

Sorry for the loss of your dear Mom. Take comfort in the Bible's promise of a resurrection. (John 5: 28-29 & Revelation 21: 4-5)

[@jamieskinner313]

So many heartfelt reminiscence in the comments to this tune. My comment seems insignificant to this tragic time. However! Freddy's melody reminds me of times in a venue when I would meet a girl and use this tune as a way of communicating in the dance language of "lover's rock" for 3 maybe 4 beautifully and exquisite minutes. So while I'm moved that Freddy waits on the edge of eternity I recall the love he shared with us. "One Love People!!" 😀🎶🖤💚💛👫🏾🎶
