He was conscious until a short time before he died, said until the last  that he was not going to die and leave us. I asked him that, if he had  to leave us, would he be afraid. He said, "No, but mamma, I want you to go with me." When asked if he knew us, he called us all by name and said he knew us all. It was mamma and papa to the very last. He was a  good and kind child to us all.
