Andy James was stabbed to death
following a weekend party boat cruise and on Tuesday devastated family members offered their first public rememberance of the fallen 26-year-old.
"The hardest thing I have to do is to bury my son," a tearful Ann James admitted. "I don't know if I have the strength to do it."
James says her son was also much of a father to the family, recalling the way he sold his car to help them buy a home in Etobicoke and gave up on university so his sister could go.
"He was a good person, he didn't deserve this," grief stricken sibling Makada said.
