Son murdered tonite

My family and I need some support tonite. My 25 year old son and his 24 year old step brother were murdered by a single gun shot wound tonite. These were great kids and were so very supportive of me and my surgery. My son came to the hospital many nites and just sat with me or brought me every magazine he could find. The boys were at threir own home. I do not know how I am going to go on living. I lost my first born son back in 1976 and now 2 more. It is too much pain to bear. These were not bac kids wandering the streets getting in trouble. Greg had spina bifida and until late he worked. Derek was going to college in Maine in Sept.. I just wanted to share and vent this grief a little before it explodes in me. Thank you all for listening. Linnie

Linnie...my prayers are with you and your family. I can't even begin to imagine the pain you are going through. We are all here for you whenever you need us. Please email me if you need someone to talk to. XXXOOO

Dear Linnie, I am so very sorry to hear about this tragedy. We never expect in life that we are going to lose our children, but for some unknown reason........things like this happen. There are no words or nothing anyone can really do that will make you feel better. But we are all here to give you comfort and help you find strength through this. I lost my son last year on this date and even though just a newborn baby, I felt at first it was easier becuase he was just born and I prayed to God thanking him for taking him now rather then having me see him grow up and then taking him becuase it would have been alot harder. But a year later......no matter what age you lose a child......it still hurts. PLease......take care of your self. I know what you must be going through with all of your losses. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. Sending lots of love, hope, prayers and strength your way! God Bless you all! MaryJo
