Letter To the Editor / Mother Made A Difference

There have been many times in my life when things would go wrong and I would feel like giving up. Whenever I felt that my life was not going as planned, I would become withdrawn and depressed about it. Part of this was du

" Happy St.Patrick's Day !!
The Irish blood that runs through my veins prompts me to honor my ancestors each year on St.Patrick's Day. I am proud to be an Irish-American, as my paternal great grandfather ( Clifford Gallagher )and my maternal great grandfather ( James " Pop " O'Brien ), were both born on the Emerald Isle. St.Patrick's Day was introduced to the United States by Irish immigrants. The first organized celebration of St. Patrick's Day in the 13 colonies took place in B

- Thank you Brian and glad to be aboard. I am currently considering writing a book about coping with homicide while moving on with your life. Since my daughters murder in 2004, I have worked with many families of homicide victims. I have found that some people can move on and some seem to be stuck on the day of their loved ones death and cannot move forward. I know because I was there for awhile after my daughters death. The good news is that as survivors of violent crime, we can move forward. I want to be able to help the people who are struggling in the healing process. I feel I can reach out to alot of people if I write a book. I also work with these families on a one on one basis in this area. They don't realize how strong they truly are and everybody's journey is different. Anyway, that is just part of what I do. Thanks for listening. Have a great Thanksgiving and God bless.
