HOW CAN i WRITE THE SOUND OF SOMEONE SOBBING?

We often express this as "boo-hoo-hoo" - but there are probably other ways as well. [ Please do not use all capital letters. Text is difficult to read, and it is tantamount to SHOUTING on the internet.

How about:
-He was bawling.
-She was bawling her eyes out!
-He heard the news and bawled.
-He was wailing!
... They sound like their meaning too
