I have looked at this blog for the last couple of days and have really struggled to find the words to express how very sorry I am for your loss. No words seem appropriate.

Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers!!

In time, I believe the raw grief your family feels right now will heal, the hot, bitter tears will dry, and the unconsolable sorrow and anger will fade to some extent to be replaced by a lifetime of cherished memories; we all want those we'll someday leave behind to remember all the good times we shared. I have no idea where this verse originated but it has brought me comfort on several occasions.

"Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you. I loved you so, 'twas Heaven here with you."

I am so sorry to hear of the death of your loved one. I too suffered the death of family members at the hands of another. My Mother, Father and Sister were killed in a car wreck caused by a 17 yr. old that fell asleep at the wheel. I know what you are going through as I have been there. I hope that the perpetrater is caught, prosectued and sentenced to the fullest extent of the law. You and your family will be in my prayers as you come to grips with this tragic event.

Keith:

I am so sorry to see and hear about your family's senseless loss. Obviously the killer was either surprised or confronted on land that was clearly not his own, or worse yet, lying in wait for his opportunity to commit this heinous crime. Based upon the story in the Index, locals would have had more than enough time to learn of the "policy shift" against wandering around and hunting on their homestead.

I cannot tell you how many landowners with which I have had relations (particularly in the last five to ten years) that have lamented about the amount of trespassing and poaching that have occurred and is continuing to occur on their land. For some set of unknown reasons there exists a subset of people who neither understand nor respect (1) the concept of private property, (2) the necessity to have the permission of the landowner BEFORE entering, and (3) that landowner's ability and right to REFUSE entry and DECLINE to grant permission to enter.

One guy that I leased a couple of years ago told me that he bought a 92-acre tract of land bordering his property 'as a buffer to keep trespassers and poachers from coming so close to his house'! Some of these idiots (some teenagers, some young men) were out on his land not only hunting, but running four-wheelers off-trail on his property with full knowledge that they were trespassing, but "they just wanted to". (!?!!)

Don't get me wrong; I have been guilty of using existing trails to go from landowner's property to another without necessarily talking to everyone first, and I have entered my neighbor's backyard without first knocking on his door to retrieve an errantly thrown ball or frisbee. But who would ever think that coming onto someone else's property or close to their home in the middle of the night, armed, unannounced and without permission could be defensible?

I hope they catch the killer. Soon.

More importantly, I pray for you and your family, and I hope that all of you are able to find the peace and solace in celebrating his life and his memory such that it may quickly overcome the pain and shock of his loss.
