Remembering Owen: A Mother's Emotional Plea for Brain Tumor Research Funding

[@jann4sundown]

Honor to Owen. Your Mommy did a great job!

[@skygazer6898]

There is nothing worse in this world than a beloved child suffering. There urgently needs to be more funding for research and treatments for childhood brain tumours, it cannot continue to be a death sentence. From the bottom of my heart, I am so sorry and sad for Owen who endured not only the brutal effects of the tumour but all those treatments. Condolences to Owen's mummy and daddy and siblings. Owen, one hundred per cent, you were a champ in every way.

I am so sorry for your loss. Sweet Owen…bless his heart and all the rest of your family. I have also lost a son so I understand your pain. I pray that this loss in your life is the only one you ever have to face in yours or any of your other children. I know nothing help…I am sorry.

Your family is in my prayers I got diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer in March but it's treatable at this time. Chemo every three weeks. I'm so sorry you had to go through that

Why can't the government give money for research for this devastating disease?? Its absolutely horrible that we send trillions to Ukraine and have kiddos dying from a cancer that needs to be curable!!! I'm at sorry for the loss of your sunshine, Owen. What a beautiful blessing he is. ❤

My condolences and prayers for your family; The pictures of Owen are precious. I want my tax money, to go for our children, not the billions on a war in Ukraine. Billions could help research to save children.
