I am so glad for the family’s sake that they found out who did this, and my heart goes out to them and i continualy pray for them but I am also really hurt to know that it was some one so close to us. Just goes to show that you don’t really know a person like you think. I am speachless. No verdict that they give him will ever undo the hurt that he has caused so many people. Scott I pray that God will have mercy on your soul. Cheryl I love you girl. You can R.I.P. now.
