Given my personal experience with my mother, there is time when you just don’t believe it will happen, but in time you can see that the person simply cannot hold onto it much longer, as the body starts to deteriorate from the inside.

“By 11:45 am on Christmas Eve, we were by his bedside. We knew it was not going to be long. We told him, ‘It’s time to go, Bailey. ‘Stop.’ The moment we said ‘stop’, he took his last breath and had just the one tear come out of his eye, it was peaceful,” said Lee. Bailey spent his last minutes clutching Millie, the reason he held on for so long. Hundreds of people turned up on January 6th to pay their final respects to Bailey Cooper. Bailey’s football icon and friend, Tom Lockyer showed up as well to lay him to rest. He was truly an inspiration to everyone, starting form his family.

May his gentle soul continue to rest in eternal peace.

Praise Hod he is with Jesus and has no more pain, but is now joyful with God and other family that are gone before! Hope the family get some comfort during this time with this realization of the truth! God sent His son, Jesus Christ to die for us and if we believe that and ask Jesus to forgive and save us, He will welcome you into His family and give you eternal life and you will definitely see your little son again when we get to heaven!!! Praise God, in Jesus Name, Amen
