One of the last things he texted her was ‘I love you’ as he was held hostage in the bathroom of the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando. And as Mina Justice said goodbye to her son Eddie, one of the 49 killed in the worst mass shooting in US history, on Saturday the devastation was too much to bear. The shattered mother collapsed at Eddie’s open casket funeral. Relatives caught her before she fell to the ground and called 911. Mina was strapped to a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance. Eddie, 30, had only been in the club for a few minutes when Omar Mateen barged in and showered the nightclub with bullets.
