Hello everyone,

On behalf of Amanda, Christian's mother, we would like to share our deepest gratitude for your kindness, empathy, and uplifting donations that have made it possible for Amanda to take time off of work to deal with an unimaginable loss. She has traveled to Seattle and will soon be returning home to Georgia for the time being.

For clarification:

When this gofund me was started, we all believed that Christian and Ana's divorce was finalized as she herself commented on public social media posts that she was his "ex-wife". Family was aware that divorce proceedings were underway and that they were separated for over a year through conversations with Christian. Seeing the comments of "ex-wife" meant that Amanda, his mother, was responsible for making arrangements for Christian to go home to God. Several days later, family were notified through public social media that she was still the legal wife of Christian and that she has gone forth with making arrangements as the legal next of kin. Amanda has indicated that she has not been included in making those arrangements.

Therefore, please know that any further donations will be in honor of a son, Christian, and to help lift a mother up in her grief after losing her last son so tragically.

It is our hope that a reconciliation will be had that will be one of support and love for one another and most importantly the little boy who is now fatherless.

Amanda has a great deal of things ahead of her in the wake of this tragedy with enormous financial responsiblities.

Amanda appreciates all of you, and while she does not have the strength right now to respond publicly, she wants you to know how grateful she is for your donations both past and moving forward.
