One year
Today is the one year anniversary of Melissa's death. It's so hard to believe that one year already has gone by. The couple that murdered her are still in jail and the trial was suppose to be in Jan but has been rescheduled for April. Please light a candle for Melissa. God Bless, Maura http://melissa-ann-james.memory-of.com/Candles.aspx?cpage= |

Re: One year
God bless you Maura and Melissa up in heaven. May her soul RIP. Even after one year, I am sure that there is still disbelief that Melissa is not here with you. The monster who murdered my son is also in jail awaiting trial that has been set for March. It is so difficult because even with them locked up they have life, something they denied our children. May God comfort you and provide you strength throughout the trial. |

Re: One year
Maura, I know the hurt and pain you feel. I just survived Joshua's first year date. It is like being run over by a truck. I wont say all over again,,because everyday is full of pain (closer to agony),but it is so so hard. My son was killed the night after Thanksgiving last year. So on Thanksgiving Day, and many days after that, I was a human shell again. I am just now "recovering" from THAT. Just in time for xmas and a trial date set again for Jan 22. Be good to yourself. If you can find one minute a day to do something for yourself, DO IT. Even cleansing my face, and brushing my teeth sometimes takes so much effort, and I have always been so particular about my appearance. But, DOING IT, gives me a little food for my soul, for a short period of time. I took a long long shower the other day,,and was rushing myself, feeling guilty. ( I am raising Joshua's daughter) I forced myself to relax, just for a few minutes, and it gave me the strength to be productive for a few hours that day. I am thinking about you. I know how you feel. May you have a moment of peace today, Yvonne (Josh's mom forever) |

Re: One year
Dear Maura, These anniversaries are so difficult. Time really takes on a new meaning when you have lost a child. I will remember your beautiful dancer, Melissa. I will pray that the court doesn't continue things intermidably, but they often do. I've realized now that sometimes this allows me to garner the strength that I need. Justice will not be denied when all is said and done. Sending you hugs! Love, Lorre |

Re: One year
Hi Maura: I so remember when you posted the story of Melissa's murder because I know how especially difficult it is to deal with the murder of your child during the holidays. You have survived the first year and when I look back (it will be four years for me December 28), I realized the first year was the hardest. You survived it and I pray that the despicable couple that murdered you daughter will be brought receive a life sentence for what they did do your beautiful dancer. May Melissa dance forever while they rot in HELL!!!! God Bless You and Your Family Tracey (Terrell's MOM) |

Re: One year
Thank you MOMS for being here with me as I travel down this road. I am so thankful for this site. I was not looking forward to the holidays but I am raising two grandsons, (they are not Melissa's) so I have to go through the motions for them. Last year when this happened to Melissa I hated my tree, the decorations. I just wanted the holiday to go away. But now I say to myself what would Melissa want me to do. I know the answer to that one. Today last year I went to the airport to pick her up for Christmas. She never got on the plane. Tomorrow is the day I found out that they found her body. Or I should say a body. They couldn't identify her right away because the murderers put her in the trunk of a car and burned it. There was however enough facial features left to match a photo. But my ex and I had to do DNA in order to officially identify her. So until that came back she was named Jane Doe. That made me sick. For 3 months they kept her in Las Vegas before we were able to bring her home to Florida to bury her. I live in NJ but she grew up in Panama City and I knew that is where she would want to be buried. And her dad and brother and sister live there. Today I pray for strength for all of us MOMS who are dealing with this hell. Yes Lorre justice will be done for all of our angels. And God will give us all the grace and comfort that we need to make it through this life until we are reunited with our babies. ((((((((Hugs))))))))) Maura (Melissa's Mom) |
