‘How do you go on in life after losing a child? I’m in disbelief, this cannot be happening. I don’t want it to be real. I would do anything just to hold him. Words just can’t describe the pain I am feeling,’ she added.

‘I love you so much, Weston Owen Gosa. God, I love you so much. You are my heart. I was so proud of the young man you were becoming. I just can’t go on without you. Rest in Peace, my angel. You are gone too soon. April 2, 2009 – June 2, 2025,’ she concluded.

Gosa’s post added, ‘We are completely heartbroken and in shock. It was so unexpected.’  

‘Losing a child is the most painful thing I have ever experienced and I hope I never experience it again,’ she added.

‘He was the most amazing son I could have asked for. He was brilliant, smart, funny and had so much potential in life. It doesn’t feel real,’ she continued.

‘Please keep our family and whitney in your thoughts and prayers as we mourn such a brilliant amazing life that was our son. Thank you,’ Gosa concluded.

Whitney added in another post, ‘Rest in Peace, my baby Weston. I love you forever, precious. I’ll never understand why life has to be so cruel. You’ll always be my baby.’
