The Henegan family have entrusted arrangements to Boston's-Roseboro's Mortuary. My son was tired, from an early age there was a pressure in him to succeed, initially he thought it was football..then when that didnt pan out he turned to his love for music..from an early age he has always been very articulate and had a large vocabulary, he knew the words to every song on the radio..so i knew from the start he would do well, rap is just a play on words. However it seemed that with every step forward he would take 3 back and the pressures of life can bring us down, we all most likely turn to something to help us cope, we get tired we reach the end  of our rope As a mother i was always excited about the steps forward and tried to enocorage him during the setbacks.. He always talked about the power of the tongue and how artist should not make songs about dying or videos of them dying because words are so powerful and when i recieved the news of his passing i was imetieatly reminded of the words to a song he wrote  that said Charlotte to my death.. He was in the middle of a move to Las Vegas set for May 1st but it did not happen.  we had plans..he had already given me little business asignments to do.. after working in the legal industry for 25 years i walked away to work for Coldheart Entertainment and to help with my grandkids..his main passion was to see the whole family straight, and I plan to spend the rest of my life doing whatever i can to carry out his Lecacy and complete everything that he worked so hard for the last 11 years.. the Rap game has become so ruthless..its become one beef after another, its become kill or be killed..I had a front row seat to this nonsense and all the facades it takes to stay relevant..and I plan to speah on that every chance i get dedicated to me and every morher who has lost a son to this game .I love you son and we got this..thank you
