Tameka Raymond, Usher's Ex, Writes a Personal Thank You Letter to All

After losing her son in a boating accident, Tameka Raymond writes a personal letter thanking everyone for their love and support.

Kile Glover, was only 11 years old when he tragically died after a man hit him with a jet ski during a boating accident.  Kile is the son of Tameka Raymond and the stepson of Usher Raymond.  Tameka recently released a letter in her own words thanking everyone, but also trying to bring some light to her and Usher's situation.  The 2 have been in court battling for custody of their children.  The battle continues to be rough.

In the wake of his death, thousands of supporters sent Tweets of love and support to the 2 parents. 

Usher is a Southwest Atlanta adopted son because of all the shows and concerts he has performed in the area during his over 20 year career.  He and his mother, have used their foundation to help hundreds of Southwest students and families over the years.

To begin, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the countless number of people who opened their hearts, extended their prayers, well-wishes and remained hopeful for my son Kile during the last weeks of his life. I truly believe that he has always been an Angel from birth and the World was just too small to contain a spirit so vast. I'm thankful and blessed to merely be the vessel that carried him and humbled that God gave him to us to love. I also feel humbled by everyone’s show of concern, and knowing that Kile Glover touched the lives of so many has given me strength during my worst & darkest hour … Again I THANK YOU ALL!
