Tre Boston, mom's journey hasn't been all hugs and kisses

Posted Feb 7, 2016
A few minutes before the Super Bowl starts, Iris De Hoyos will blow a big kiss to her son, Carolina Panthers safety Tre Boston. And the former North Fort Myers High star will blow one back, from the world's biggest stage. It’s a tradition that goes back about 17 years. Before Pop Warner games, De Hoyos would give him a hug and kiss on the cheek. He’d return the favor. (The News-Press)
