his 18th birthday.

The mother

was told that he would not live past 10.

“Just 1

more month for your 18th Birthday I remember the Drs telling me i wouldn’t have

you beyond 10years old we beat the odds with all the love and support,”

said Curran.

“Well

fought my son ! I need you to sleep now peacefully you fought the hardest fight

and will never forget your determination to be with us for 18years !!!! I’m

still numb and selfishly crying but I know you deserve to rest,” added the

grieving mom.

Curran’s

posts were met with love and support from colleagues in the entertainment and

media industry.

“There

are no right words so a jus love and positive energy mommy,” said veteran

reggae act Tanya Stephens.
