NO parent should have to out live their children,its a pain that never leaves.Nov.14,2004 is when I had to let my son Samuel Lewis Runkle, go on his journey with the Great Spirit.On the evening of Nov.12,2009.IT turned into my nightmare on Elm St. He had took a beating from the guy in back seat with him,and was left out in the street late that night. It was a cover up from the start.The driver was the son of a fire marshal here in town.The driver drove to his home,where he was interviewed there at home. another guy had drove back near to where they left him.He was ridden with grief that he went to another bar to talk of what had happened,and said the police was taken care of it.The 3rd guy had to leave town for whatever his reasons were.he's the one who did the damage to Sammy.My husband had told the police officers,this 3rd guy had beat my son previous to that night,it took awhile to heal.He did fear this guy cause of the last fight whipped him over with a baseball bat.Now time has passed the truth has surfaced.So those of us who love Sammy are victims of the ugliness that comes with the guilt that they caused their own self.I would call it a hate crime,Sammy was of German and Creek Indian decent favoring the Creek traits more.So the ugly threats and racial slurs made towards our people are that of words only to rile us up.We take it one day at a time.And hope one day we'll be at peace with what took place in our lives.Sammy had good in him,warm hearted,trusting,good natured,His good looks and a beautiful smile,and sense of humor was his best gift to all.We went cold case on his death,no matter how ugly it maybe the truth is that THE TRUTH....His legacy lives on with the the beauty of his life he touch and place in our lives and hearts.He was our blessing.The Great Spirit gave us a gift to cherish eternity.I'm glad I stumbled upon this site Legacy you are truly a present from above.May your journey be plentiful and rewarding.

My daughter Nemit Elizebath Savgi White passed on January 4th, 2009 in Tenn. She was traveling from Kentucky to Georgia with her stepdad when a truck rear end there truck at 8:29 A.M. when she passed her stepdad suvived that crash, her life cut short without any warning, the night before she passed, we had a mother and daughter talk, she explained I'm okay, i am happy, all i want is to live a happy and Godly life, I'm good. She accomplished the goals that she had worked very hard for her MBA, and set in her career. This young womam is very compassionate, considerate, loving and kind with a very strong will to do for others. We missed that beautiful and gorgeous smile she wears. She left us with a Legacy of bountiful and wonderful memories, she was my only daughter my best friend, my star my everything, dearest to my heart my one and only. Legacy thank you for this opportunity to share and communicate our thoughts and love for our loved one that as passed. Thank you.

Hi Legacy, great thing you've got going here with wonderful people here who need to share. I am from niles since 1962 straight back west on oakton street from you. My mom is still back there off oakton and waukegan behind the home depot in the shopping center. I miss chicago so much, if you pass by give mom a big hug for me, I am afraid I will lose her too someday. She won't move out here in nor cal by me. I am caregiving here for my mother-in-law who has cancer and on oxygen 24/7. How do I get my mom to move closer to me so I can take care of her too before something happens to her? Have a wonderful day. Carl
