Bless you, Judy…
Yes indeed, bless her and that beautiful angel that's looking down at us from somewhere up there.
At least that's how I like to think of him.
And to think ten years have gone by and still people have learned nothing from what was at the heart of that horrible murder. They took this beautiful kid's life for nothing. We still find ourselves fighting for GLBT rights throughout this land, and from the looks of how things our going we will be fighting for the upcoming eight years also. Sad truly sad.
much love and respect, Judy.
