Concluding her post, Brittney Roberts vowed to keep her son's memory active. “Our story with Will didn't end today.
It simply changed chapters,” she wrote.
“We will spend the rest of our lives making sure the world knows who Will was, what God did through Will's life, and how one fifteen-year-old changed more lives than most people ever will.”
In a separate statement, she noted his passing occurred on her birthday. “At 12:45 a.
m.
today, on my birthday, our precious Will took his final breath on this earth and entered the presence of Jesus,” she wrote.
She expressed appreciation for public support. “You have prayed when we didn’t have the strength,” she wrote.
“You celebrated every victory with us and cried through every setback.
You loved Will like family, and we will spend the rest of our lives grateful for every single one of you.”
She added details about his demeanor during his hospital stay.
“Will was stubborn enough to drive us crazy one minute and make us laugh the next,” she wrote.
She described the personal meaning of the timing. “What a beautiful gift that God gave me today on my birthday….
a celebration that there is no more cancer and Will entered into the kingdom of Heaven!!!!
What better gift could I have received than to know my baby boy is sitting with Jesus and is cancer free,” she wrote.
In her final message to her son, she expressed gratitude for being his parent.
“Until I see you again, Will…I love you more than words will ever be able to say.
It has been the greatest honor of my life to be your mama,” she wrote.
