He said:"It's not a joke, it's not a hoax. I don't want anyone else to get hurt and to feel the grief we are feeling. We were cheated - the lives of Mom and Dad were stolen by a virus that many joke about on a daily basis or just believe it's a hoax of some sort. Both of them took this pandemic seriously and still got sick and died."He said:"My mom had the most beautiful soul of anyone you could have met. She was very generous with the love she had for everyone.
