At 12:10am on June 24, 2010, Rev.James Durden said…: Hi Geri,I'm sorry for the loss of your son,you said you don't let on anymore and that's something you should not have to hide and the reason I say this is because I had to do that for a while and I stopped,if I'm having a bad day because of the loss of my daughter I make it known and I don't get ill with anyone I just go and think by myself if others have a heart and see you're having a moment they should do one of two things either come and just say nothing or sit and say how can I be an ear,but you should not have too bottle up your pain and watch others feel good.that's just a suggestion because your heart matters too.It only leads to silent frustration because then you think they really don't care because I know they know that you are hurting and your hurt, should be their hurt.Be Blessed

I want him. i want him and i know you do also. please. i saw it has been a while for you not me but i see how i will be when those years pass just the same. how horrible. i feel your pain and know you feel mine and talking to strangers seems strange but there is a bond that we cannot explain our beautiful children where on this earth for about the same time and taken from us at about the same time so we are the few sharing this tragedy. not those people in our families yes they feel some but not all they are not their mothers.

I have very few good days, but I know he is with me and I will see him in Heaven one day. My Travis is a yellow butterfly that I see every day. He is watching over me and I am sure your son is watching over you. They will always be with us in our heart and never leave us. We will see them and just keep the faith that God has promised us. Love you Linda

I WILL START BACK TO WORK ON MONDAY SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP SOME TOO. AS ALWAYS THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND COMPLIMENTS ON FALLON'S BEAUTY. KEEP IN TOUCH. GOD BLESS YOU DURING THE NEW YEAR.

At 5:21pm on December 29, 2009, PEGGY said…: GERI, ON THE 23RD, I HAD A BIG BREAKDOWN AFTER GOING TO THE CEMETARY. IT WAS MUCH WORSE THAN LAST YEAR. CHRISTMAS EVE WAS A LITTLE BETTER, BUT CHRISTMAS DAY WAS JUST HORRIBLE. I HAD 30 PEOPLE AT MY HOUSE -- NEICES, ETC WHO WOULD BE FALLON'S AGE GROUP. THE MOOD WAS SO DEPRESSING THAT THE NEXT DAY MY HUSBAND AND I LEFT TOWN AND HAVE JUST RETURNED. WE HAVE DECIDED NOT TO DO ANOTHER CHRISTMAS AT HOME IF WE CAN POSSIBLY AVOID IT.
I'M TRYING NOT TO FOCUS TOO MUCH ON MY OWN GRIEF AND I APPRECIATE SO MUCH YOUR COMMENTS FOR ME. I PRAY THAT YOU ARE HEALING. THIS IS MY 4TH CHRISTMAS WITHOUT FALLON AND I AM STILL NOT WELL AND NEVER WILL BE. TIME HELPS SOME BUT THESE SNOWY DAYS THAT WE ARE HAVING IN OKLAHOMA ONLY ADD TO MY SOMBER MOOD.
MAY GOD GRANT BOTH OF US THE PEACE THAT WE SO DESPERATELY NEED DURING THIS APPROACING NEW YEAR. FALLON'S MOM---PEGGY

At 10:53pm on August 31, 2009, geri said…: Hi,my name is Geri, and I too have lost a child, my son Paul on Easter Sunday,March 23rd,2008.A senior in college,he was on his way home from a vacation with his friends,when a car hit them,Paul was gone,instantly.It is truely the worst day I will ever have in my life. When my husband told me that evenning,that our only child died in a car accident, the love of my life,23 yrs. old.I thought I would die. I do have good days now, and I really think it is Paul giving me the strength and courage I need to get thru each day.And that's my comfort knowing Paul is still with me.I can feel his strength helping me.For that I am greatful.For me there would be no other way to get thru the days without him.God speed to us all.Love, Paul's mom.
