Justice for Derek and Gregory
I just wanted to update to everyone what has been going on. I went to the hearing yesterday. The monster wouldn't look at me even though I stood up and was told by the marshall's that I had to sit down. I did this so he would look at me but also so people would look at me. I don't want this monsters name or face to be remembered. Remember Michael Ross? Everyone remembers him but very few remember the names of his vsctims. Please remember their names. The killer will forever be the "Doughboy monster" in my mind. I am not doing this to be vindictive. This is not about the monsters punishment --it is about justice for Derek and Gregory.
I just thought I'd let people know when the services are so you might say alittle prayer for us during that time. Calling hours are on Friday from 5-7p at Neilan's funeral home and their will be a graveside service on Saturday. Derek will be buried wnext tomy mother(she died when I was 11-and that is where I will be buried also) Thanx everyone for being here for me. You will never know how much it has meant to me. I read all of your messages and gather such strength from them. Love, Linnie
Linnie,
I will be there for you in spirit sweetie, may god watch over you and your family and keep you in his arms with love. I know this monster will forever pay for what he has done to your family, may he burn in you know what.
God bless you and your in my thoughts and prayers. We all love you.

My thoughts and prayers to you during this terrible time. Know your boys will forever live in your heart and that they will be watching over you thru these difficult times. Know you will see to it that your boys get the justice they deserve and send the one who did it to his own fate. Fill your mind and heart with all the joys you were blessed with while your boys where here with you and let those thoughts help you get thru this. My Deepest Sympathy's LInnie. Julio
Linnie,
There are no words to describe the horrible tragedy you are now facing because of this awful person. I am saying prayers for you and your whole family every day, but I also am saying an extra prayer for you my sweet friend to keep your strength up and try to think about your health too. I know it is so hard to think of that because of the overwhelming grief and anger, but I know you will want to be strong and healthy on that day when you will see that justice be done for your dear Derek and Gregory.
Hold steady to your faith, Linnie and know that you are loved by so many. I am here for you and will be checking in on you, but I want you to call me anytime day or night if you need anything or just to talk about your dear boys.
Big ((((HUGS))))) my friend,
Terri
Linnie -
I just can't imagine there is anything I can say that could ease your pain in any way. I have chills just thinking about the horror. Your boys, Derek and Gregory must have been wonderful sons.
Keep reaching out to the people who care about you - it will help you through anger and pain that is so bad you can't sit still for one agonizing minute. I've been told by mothers who have lost children that time can feel like your enemy now because it brings you further away from them. But time is also the only thing will bring you so far away from this horrible experience so that you will be able to find some peace again. I pray that you find peace.
So, so sorry about your loss.

Linnie - You are so right about how everyone remembers the monsters and not the victims and your strength to stand up is just awesome - keep that strength! You also have a great attitude about not wanting to be vindictive - you are a remarkable woman - a Mom that Derek and Gregory are looking down from heaven at with pride!
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
My sympathy is with you and your family.
