Huntley, who killed ten-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in 2002, remains in an induced coma after his skull was crushed with a 3ft metal pole at HMP Frankland, Co Durham.
Lynda made the 175-mile car journey from her home to his bedside after surgeons operated on him.
She told friends she “just wants to be free of it” and also told how she knows “flags will fly high” if he dies but she is “still his mother”.
A Prison Service liaison officer escorted Lynda and a pal to him on their secret trip.

He is being guarded by armed police with senior justice officials also present.
Lynda and her friend were said to be shocked by the extent of his injuries, which include a broken jaw, massive brain injuries and skull fractures.
Huntley is also breathing only with the help of ventilator as he remains on life support at a hospital which we are not naming.
