Frank, I’m just a marginal poster from 2 time zones away. I never met her, but I know now that its my loss. And yours.

I’m so very sorry for your loss…

I’m sorry for your loss, **Frank**. Thank you for sharing your memories of her. For what it’s worth, it brought a smile to my face and makes my empathy for you and your family that much stronger. Though what must have been a difficult life culminated in tragedy, it’s good to remember that she, at times, brought happiness to those around here. I sincerely hope you will treasure those memories of your sister and that they bring you comfort. My heart breaks for you and yours.

Am there still after losing my daughter.

You will get better…

Quoted for truth.

The best advice I ever got after losing someone was allow yourself to feel whatever you’re feeling. Whatever you feel is okay, and those feelings will change from one day to the next.

Is there any thing you need, man? I have friends in the Denver area - just let me know.

Just saw this. We’ve had our differences in the past, you and I, but I certainly don’t like hearing about this. I hope they catch whoever did it and quickly.

A description and picture have been issued today of the last person to be seen with my sister. I hasten to add, this does not mean he is a suspect. Yet.

I hope he comes forward. If he is the murderer, I hope one of his buddies comes forward. The police aren’t going to be interested in busting someone for crack or meth or whatever. They only want information about a murder.

I am this close to starting a pit thread that three days later her last name is still being misspelled by half of the news organizations reporting on the case.
