11/25/08 Updates One Year Later



The investigators in the case held a press conference on the one year anniversary of the double homicides. There were several local media updates for the one year anniversary.

It has been exactly one year since our lives were changed forever. I can still remember everything as if it was yesterday. From the phone call that started it all to sitting around until all hours of night with family & friends. Then there was the many days & nights of wondering why you were taken away from us. Each day is a struggle, but today is harder than most. I love and miss you brother, more than you'll ever know.

Remembering You
Upon this day I reminisce
with much sadness and regret.
The loss of my beloved
brother and close friend.

It's been a year of longing
wishing you'd return to me.
For though you left one year ago
I cannot set you free.

Emotions, they are raw today
I'm simply torn apart.
For hollow, wrenching feelings
tear apart this very heart.

An emptiness, that's deeper than
the oceans fill my soul.
A painful hunger bites my
inner self beyond control.

I see you as I turn each step
I watch for you each day.
Little brother, I miss you so
much more than words can say.

I'm thankful for the times we shared
and the priceless memories too.
For those memories are a comfort now when I lovingly ~
Remember You.

Go Blue!
Your brother forever,
Eric

Always & Forever
I can’t find the words to say,
For the emptiness that I still feel today.
It’s hard to believe that it has already been a year,
The sound of your voice and smile on your face are still so clear.
Why God took you so young, I have no clue,
But I still feel your presence in everything I do.
It isn’t fair that I not only lost my brother, but I lost my best friend.
There will always be pain and my heart will never mend.
Nothing or nobody could ever take your place,
There will come a day when I will feel your embrace.
Every time I look at the sky and turn to you,
I will always tell you how much I love you and give a big GO BLUE!!!

Always & Forever Your Brother!
Corey

You never said "I'm leaving"
You never said goodbye.
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.

A million times we needed you,
A million times we cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still.
In our heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.

Love Always,
Dad and Step-mom

Them Boys
We Can Never Forget Your Precious Smile
And How You Brightened Our Lives Each Day
We Can Still See Your Sparkling Eyes
And Wonder Why God Took You Away
We Have Peace Of Mind And Comfort In Knowing
That You're Now With Our Lord Up Above
The Angels Are Now Taking Care Of You
With Their Everlasting Love
We Know In Your Life You Were Richly Blessed
And In Everything You Did Endeavor
For Those Of Us Who You Left Behind
You'll Be In Our Hearts Forever.

Love and miss you,
Your sister-in-law, nieces and nephews
