He leaves behind many nieces and nephews as well. "I laid in my bed staring up at the ceiling and wondered why I felt bad for him. Why I felt sad for him. I mean he was the one who broke me after all, and while I could feel all me broken pieces floating around inside me and should have been angry at him, for some reason I just wasn't. Maybe somewhere far in the back of my mind I knew he didn't do it on purpose. Maybe somewhere deep in the core of my heart I knew he was a good guy who made a really bad mistake. Or maybe a part of me knew that breaking us broke him too. I dont know. But instead of being angry at him, I felt bad and sad for him and ended up praying and asking God to help heal him too." A celebration of life will be held on August 2, 2020 for family and friends.
