“Bradley was one of the most amazing young men I can ever think about,” Ms Thompson said.
“Funny, intelligent, so witty, a cheeky young man.”
Mr Parks-Duckett, who was in the Royal Engineers, died after taking his own life aged 21.
She said the cancellation of the bus service to the South Yorkshire city had made it harder for her to visit his place of rest.
The train service to Doncaster was less convenient and cost more than the bus, she explained.
“It means the world to be able to go through and sit with Bradley for a few minutes. But they cancelled the buses, it was heartbreaking,” Janette said.
“Please re-instate at least two buses in the morning, two buses in the afternoon, just so I have half-an-hour with my son.”
A spokesperson for Arriva said: “The 405 was withdrawn in 2022 because it was costing us too much to run. For people living in Selby and Doncaster, there is a good train service between the two locations, with trains taking just 15 minutes.
“Our business is all about connecting communities and we feel sorry for our passengers when we have to cancel services.”
