Pray for me
Moms I need your prayers and thoughts to be with me as I prepare to go back to Kansas City on April 3rd to try to fight to get my sons victims comp. to pay for his funeral.It was denied because they said a so called witness claims my son had been selling drugs about 30 minutes before he was killed which makes him "in the comission of a crime" Now my son had no drugs and very little cash on him and the boy/man that murdered him wasn't even @ the park @ that time.The so called wittness (the one that can't say who killed my son or even give a desciption of him)said the guy ran into the park and started shooting @ my son and chased him @ shot him to death.I moved three hours away after my son was murdered one block from our home,this will be my first time back!Please keep us in your prayers as I lay flowers in the park then fight for my son.Thank you all and GOD bless you all. |

Re: Pray for me
Prayers for you and prayers that the truth comes out. Our children lost their lives and the evil in this world tries to find an answer of why by trying to manipulate facts twisting them into whatever they want as if ANY person deserves to die the way our children have. As someone already said the most important people in the world know the truth and the man in charge knows the truth. Be strong and know we are with you. Stand strong and proud and absorb the strength your Andre will be sending you. Love and Prayers Cindy |

Re: Pray for me
Hi Vickie, I will pray for you. I live in the same area that my daughter was murdered and everywher I go and everyone I see reminds me of her . It is hard.Even though Keara's killer is behind bars and I thought it would help, I still feel that justice was not served. He took a plea and gets to live and myself , her siblings, her children and so many others who care about her are still suffering. I hope you will be able to get some answers. Love, Darien, Keara's Mom |

Re: Pray for me
Vickie, I had the same thing happen to me in Hawaii. When I went to the board to get the papers they told me I was not elligable because they had heard he was murdered because of a drug deal(thank you media) It was a planned robbery and murder and yes he was growing some plants but that was not a factor, he was not in the mist of a deal. They have to prove that he was selling drugs at the time he was murdered.He was not. It sounds like you have a good case. I had a lot of people say that he was involed in something he shouldn't have been but like the detective said, he wasn't aware that there was a death sentence for growing or smoking pot.......I know how heartbreaking this can be, I know who my son was and you know who your son was, so they can all go to hello. Good luck |

Re: Pray for me
It doesn't matter what any of our children were doing when they were murdered. Bottom line they didn't deserve to be murdered. They were loved and are still loved and greatly missed. I got half of what victims crime would usually pay for because Justin was doing drugs which is a criminal act when he was murdered. The laws protect the criminal no matter how we look at it. Thoughts and Prayers, Connie |

Re: Pray for me
I did get some, but not much. I was lucky and had life insurance on him thru my work, which I totally forgot about since I've been here forever. Anyway, the Victims Comp paid the rest of the funeral cost because I only had $5,000 life insurance. And the money I had left over I bought his headstone with. So that was enough for me, I just wanted to make sure I had gotten his headstone because I don't have that kind of money. I'm hoping it will be up some time by April or May. It is the same here, if they feel that there was any type of crime activity or drugs going on, there would be no compensation. I don't even know if the guy he was with had gotten it or if his family even knew about it because they are from a different area then we are, he was living with his g/f and when they'd fight, he'd ask my oldest if he could crash at our house. Then it became more and more that he was there. I had even told my oldest that he was getting too comfortable, he needed to start finding his own place to live (it was approx. going on for about 2 months). Some days I blame myself for letting him stay, but he was nice to me and seemed like a good person, what ever he did on the side I didn't know about, but he definitly had someone ****** at him that they would not only kill him but an innocent child with him, execution style. I used to in the beginning blame this young man for my son's death, I finally realized it was not his fault, no matter what he did, it does not give anyone the right to kill him or my son. They are the monster(s), they are the ones who my heart is filled with hate for, and I prayed to God to tell this young man to forgive me for blaming him. He would never have put my son in harm's way, I really believe that. But I also get free counseling thru the Families of Murder Victims, if I had to go to a private one they would compensate up to so much money, but some of the places I called would not go thru them because they said they weren't getting paid. |
