Widynowski said of Lisa Marie’s relationship with her late son: ‘She adored that boy. He was the love of her life.’

‘These are some of the darkest days of my family’s life,’ she said. ‘Trying to put all the pieces together of all the possible whys has penetrated my soul. Each day I wake up I pray it will get better. Then, I think of my daughter and the pain she is going through as she was a doting mother.’
