It has been nearly six years since the death of Junior Seau, and the pain lingers for his family.
Earlier this week, Seau’s 80-year-old mother, Luisa, went to visit her son’s grave site at Eternal Hills Memorial Park, just a few miles from their home in eastern Oceanside.
She said she was “crying so hard,” and other families who were there visiting came over to embrace and console her.
“I thanked them for coming to see him, for bringing the flowers,” Luisa said.
There were children who asked if they could take some of the pictures of Junior that had been left at the headstone.
