“This is where my Mother’s Day 2020 story starts,” she proceeded. “I shed my son Cameron Boyce on July 6, 2019, at the age of 20 to something called Sudden Unforeseen Fatality in Epilepsy (SUDEP), which I had never come across before shedding Cameron Boyce. SUDEP takes place when otherwise healthy and balanced individuals with epilepsy die during a seizure.”

He was genuine as well as smart, with no airs or required to be the center of attention. Cameron Boyce and also I were extremely close, and also we talked about everything. He once informed me that he could not wait for me to be older so that he could look after me.”
