I miss my baby brother so much it hurts! I think of him everyday! wishing he was here with us! I wish someone would come forward with some information. For someone to kill a handicap person like my brother should be ashamed of there self. I tried to call the police department, to find out any information, did not get a call back. My mother also tried to call and she did not receive a call either. I know there is someone out there that knows something! PLEASE HELP US!!!!!!!!!!!!

God says that we may not understand why things happen... to get on with life, we have to accept, the understanding comes thereafter.

Let's pray for this person, that he finds his soul and turns to God for his crime. The Truth Will Be Told.

God has promised us to Love and Behold.
