"I have comfort in knowing that now she has found freedom from her illness, and she is finally at peace," he added. The singer stated that "I promise I'll do everything in my power to raise our precious boys the right way, teach them the good values you wanted them to have so badly, and break the cycle of abuse we both experiences as kids."
