BLACKSTONE, Va. -- An elderly woman from Blackstone with serious health issues is begging for her missing son to come home. Family members told CBS 6 News senior reporter Wayne Covil that Curtis "Kirk" Blackwell was last seen nearly three years ago just after his nephew was born. Mary Blackwell, Kirk’s mother, said that she is more concerned about seeing her son than her own health.
"I'd tell him, ‘Hi baby, mama misses you, she loves you, misses you and wants you to come home,’" Mary Blackwell said.
Denise Jackson, the missing man’s niece, said she would love to see him.
“I'm not going to say he's my favorite uncle, but I love him just like he was my daddy, too,” Jackson said.
Family members said the last they heard, about Kirk indicated that he was in the Petersburg area.
