Author Patricia Kloehn
Author Patricia Kloehn wrote this book to honor the life of her son, Negus Kloehn, who suffered from epilepsy and died from his condition unexpectedly. Patricia feels the presence and contact of Negus quite often and believes he, in large part, channeled this book through her to make his story known and lend a helping hand from above.
“This book is dedicated to all the many people whom Negus loved including family, friends, coaches, teachers, soccer and school organizations and those he wasn’t able to meet in person yet. Negus had a great capacity for life, and I know that he would love for you to read this book, and if you need any help here on this earth, do not hesitate to call out to him. He has been pushing me to write this since he died; he wants to help and continue to be a superhero from above.
In dedication to Negus Kloehn and his nana, Mary Theresa Kloehn.”

An excerpt from “Do Your Best”
“I suddenly realized my entire life was about to change. I began to cry. Momma came over to me and hugged me tight and said, “Football?” My eyes lit up. We began to kick the ball back and forth.
You’ve got this, Negus, I thought. Just trust.
