“Get Ready to Say Goodbye”

A Mother's Story of Senseless Violence, Tragedy, and Triumph

by LaVonne McKee and Ted Schwarz

The lives of a loving mother and father and their bright, athletic 13-year-old son are changed forever when he is shot by his 14-year-old best friend. Neither drugs nor gangs are involved, but childhood violence has come to the suburbs in this gripping true story.
