While Cora Jordan has “lost her heart” in the death of her son Alex Romel Samuels who was shot in a minibus Wednesday night, she says she will try to be strong for his daughter.
“I know he would have wanted me to be strong for his daughter Jakira [who is six years old] so I have to be,” she told the WEEKEND NATION yesterday at her Jackson, St Michael home.
Samuels, 30, also known as “PG” or “Aga”, lost his life when an unidentified man boarded a minibus along the Pine East West Boulevard and shot him in the chest.
Jordan, a chef at Silver Point Hotel, said: “I am as well as can be expected but I will be strong for my two daughters and my grandchildren. I love him but I can’t die with him so I will be going to work tomorrow. If I keep busy, I won’t study my son.”
