It was just her and I; I’m happy we left the kids at home. I did everything I could to keep her with us. Please pray for our babies, Kenzi (7), Kairo (4), Kya (1). Thanks for all the support from family and friends who drove hours to get to us last night.
I don’t know what kind of test this is or what lessons will be learned, but with the Most High on our side, there is nothing we can’t overcome together. She was the Greatest Mother & Wife. You wouldn’t believe how she has elevated me and our children time and time again. I wouldn’t be the man I am today without you, my love. I’m so sorry I couldn’t get you back home safely. I love you in ways I didn’t know I was capable of loving. I will make sure we make you proud. I won’t let you down. I love you and miss you deeply.”
