Roberts confirmed her son and Highway dated a number of years ago, but were not together at the time of the incident.

“I wish I knew how to feel but I am numb. I’m so lost without him. He was mommy’s boy,” Roberts said.

Roberts has created a gofundme to help pay for the costs of a proper headstone.
