Thank You Tina!

The Other Victims are very important. We can never forget that they are going through very hard times while their loved ones are on DR and afterwards.

I second that!

Thank you Tina for being such a wonderful advocate for those that people forget are also victims!

Thanks for giving them a voice, and the support they so desperately need!

I guess I need to set the record straight here about a couple of things. I hate to even mention the P word, but apparently she has a new board. I will not give her the time of day, however I would like to address her side-kick.

The sidekick has a husband on DR and she came to me wanting help. Apparently, she felt as if I owed her something. I owe her nothing. I have discussed with the people that I needed to discuss the issue with, therefore case closed on my end.

I do wish her husband all of the best, and I did send him a letter stating so. I think that a letter wishing someone the best is far better then asking someone to drop their appeals. She has aligned herself with a person/group of people that are responsible for creating more pain then already exists.

I have received several phone calls recently from people that are shocked by this behavior, particularly those that knew these people. It's a disappointment to all of us that care about everyone.

For those of us that care about all victim's we must stay away from those that wish harm upon others. Of course, they always say what about the victim. My point! All victims are important. I would never take anything away from any person that has suffered a loss.

I would also like to add that I was told that on the Crazy Pros board there were pictures of people including a baby that were flipping people off. Not a very shining example for anyone that walks with God.

Finally, I would like to address the person that sent a hate letter to Robert Shields. Although Robert is in death row and will most likely take the van ride on August 23, I can tell you this--he is more of a decent person than any of you could begin to imagine. Once again everyone would like to think that they have all the details, but sorry folks you don't.

For Robert's family, I will be there for you, and know that over the several years it has been my pleasure to know such wonderful people. You guys all have a rough road ahead, and I will continue to pray for grace and mercy for your family.

Love to all.

I was informed about a post that was there about this issue Tina. It is awful for anyone to attack you and throw around threats to go to the TDS about you. There is not a more caring person that I know. It is sad that people have to make false accusations tine and time again. You would NEVER hurt a DR inmate. That much I know for a fact and it makes me sick to think that there are people who are saying otherwise.

JoJo,

What is this about going to TDS? I am not a part of TDS, they are their own entity. They make their own decisions about what they do, and I make decisions about what I do. I guess I don't understand their logic, but I never did.

What can I say? If a person has a problem with me, then it would seem that bringing their concerns to me rather than going to this person and that person would seem like the most logical thing to do. This person was given the opporunity on more than one occasion to dicuss this off of this board, or any board, but they chose not to.

There are some things that should not be on an open board, and this was one of those things. The old saying is "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink" applies in this case.

Thanks for your kind words. It is very nice to have the venom off of this board.

There are many scheduled executions pending, and there are many hearts breaking, and we should all keep everyone in our prayers.

Tina thank you for all the great work you do; and for being there for me personally as well.

Those people are kids playing in a schoolyard...no one credits them or their words!

[tinac]

You are so welcome--and I believe that it is the Devil's playground!
