Still seeing “KILLER”
To whom it may concern:
As a mother I will not deal with this death until I find his killer. Tell me you can “deal with it” if he was your son, husband, bother or father. “Get over It” the other phrase of choice, I’ll work on that also. This is a reminder to his killer: Are you dealing with it? Can you get over it? How about the others that share your secret? To the others finding his memorial’s offensive WHY??
Rich’s Mother
Shattered
My heart is so shattered- I go on everyday and ask why you have been taken from me and the ones who loved you so- There are no answer and no closer to your death this makes it so much harder. You died alone and I never wanted that for you. It was cold and ruthless- I feel you and night, but yet I am so alone. An empty heart and knots in my stomach. I know when it is my time to go you will be there waiting for me, I just want the pain to go away and the hurt to stop- I look around and all I see and feel are memories of you. I try so hard not to be angry- How can I not be angry. Please watch over us - I know you are watching us- I love you so much and I will never let your memory die. I also promise to try and find the one who killed you that night and left you there to die-
Love you, Cassie
To My Brother
I did not want to say good-bye
and it sucked to let you go.
It is right for us to mourn you
But not let despair bring us low..
God’s reason for taking you
we may never know.
We will always love and cherish you
in our hearts here below.
I pray that Jesus met you that night on the road and told you “You did a Good job my Son, but
now it is time to go..”.
And even though you are gone your ink will always show.
I show my tattoos proudly.. Because they are all for you..
And the one that you gave me, will always be the best because a part of your heart and soul is there and no one can top that..
I love and miss you so much...
Your little sister..
Jo Jo
I LOVE YOU
I love my daddy and I miss you
I love you all the way to moon and stars
I am glad I see you every night in the sky.
Love, Brilee
