A Mother’s Grief and Anger
Whitney is filled with grief and anger at the senseless loss of her son. "I’m just mad I wasn’t there, I couldn’t be there for him," she said. "Of course, I would want someone to talk and turn themselves in, give them info they know but that’s not going to happen but that’s okay because it will come out, everything that happens in the dark will come to the light, in Jesus name I pray, amen."
