Episode summary[]
Jo visits Antoinette Lewis (40), who has two children: 2-year-old toddler Selah and 5-month-old baby Christian. Antoinette's husband, Dwight, fell ill with Stage II gastric cancer, and his deathbed wish was for Antoinette to carry on and become a happy mother to their children.
The day before Dwight passed away at the age of 45, Antoinette called Jo to help her learn how to parent alone. Dwight died after he lost his battle with gastric cancer on August 14, 2008.
