Jackson said that he expected him to enter the door. This is like a bad nightmare.

Simone was upset when I spoke to her. Keith, Shane’s father, is a strong person, but he's just broken like everyone else. They are shocked at what has happened.

"I believe that's what happens when there's a sudden death, and you don't expect it.

"One minute, the kids are talking with him every day, and the next they can't talk. Then they think about how he won't be there for my 21st. He's not going down the aisle.

All of these things are going through your head. They have a harder time than anyone else.
