Part Two

Jaime Adame informed me this morning that part two will be posted tomorrow. He is going to give the foundation a plug in the article.

Many people have asked me why I have not posted any replies to the people who have been posting on the newspaper article. My answer is, whats the point?

My friend (R McGowan on the board) said it best when he said that people are never tougher than when they sit behind a keyboard. When you sit back and read what is written, you realize that these people are just begging for a reply, and look what happens when they get one. The next thing you know we have family members ripping at each other on a public forum when they should just pick up a phone and reach out to each other. This family needs to heal and the best way to do that is by coming together, not blasting each other. We need to realize that the reason why this happened will never be known. None of us can truly say what was going on in Taunya's head in the moments before she pulled the trigger. Even if we did know why, would it provide us any comfort? Doubtful. Its o.k. to be sad, angry, confused, hurt, or whatever it is you are feeling. In the wake of these feelings, our family has a chance to do something extraordinary. Lets try to make some change.

I would encourage all of you to stay off the public forum. If you want to comment or share a story or condolences, feel free to do it here where we can weed out the neighborhood gossip.
