young, before your song was ever
sung, Captured by the grasp of the
devil's tongue, He snatched your
life leaving much undone.
It brings us joy and often pain,
So hard to swallow or ascertain,
The insane acts, those hands of stain.
Who crushes the child with breach of
trust? Your knife did pierce with much
unjust, Now their hearts live on in
angel dust.
That graced our days beyond compare,
I feel your breath in the soft still air,
No faceless fears or hopeless despair.
We treasure your pictures and souveneers,
On the wings of doves it carries our tears,
Whispering the music of the spheres.
Your life lives on with newfound goals,
Co-creating with God's own scrolls,
Making arrangements for other roles.
May you fly with the angels in songs of flight,
May you always be blessed and your soul ignite,
Forever be young and halo bright.

hearing. They wanted to know if we wanted to be, there at that time, and
if we didn't, we could write out a letter regarding "Victim Impact
Statement". Myself I do not want to go, I don't want to see him. I still
have the court room image of him the last time he was in court. As he was
leaving the court room, he looked directly at me and I mouth the words
"You better remember me, you...B......" Then when I was living in Ontario
he had asked a woman who I knew, who had gone on one date with him when she
was 16. If she would send a letter to me from him. She did. He had the
nerve to say to me that he wanted to correspond with me and that I was the
best parent during the trial. Yes, I answered him. I told him that I didn't
want to correspond with him then or at any other time...that he had some
nerve writing to me. I told him that he had many enemies and I for one...

when someone is a drinker or taking Dope, even if it's been taken a few
days previously. When I watch TV and they show a child missing, I know
if the child is alive or dead....I knew when my daughter was dead, as I
had "seen" her dead near a river and in a certain position. That is where
they found her, about three weeks later, but the position was mirrored. I

to go. It took me a long time to finally realize that. One day,
when Terri Lyn was only seven years old,and without any coaxing from me,
she had said to me, "Mom, I'm glad I picked you for my mommy." At that
moment I knew I had nothing to worry about. I've had a hard time dealing
with her death at the begining, but as time went on, I realized that it
was her time to go. It still hurts now, but not so much.

and the story on that is: I was reading an article about a little boy who
had cancer. He was talking to a spirit and his father saw the spirit and
took a picture of him. I don't know if that is really true, but something
told me I could paint the spirit and send a photo of it to the father.
I did and it turned out pretty good. About 6 months later something told me
to look at the bottom of the painting and I did. To my surprise ..there was

time that I did save Terri Lyn's life....One day, as she was sitting
on the sidewalk
in front of our home, she was about 5 years old
at that time. I was standing on the patio and watching her play. She
was busy doing something
with a small pile of pebbles. In my mind
flashed a scene of a large blue truck, [the ones with high sides,the
kind that deliver food to grocery stores]it came around the corner
from the left at the corner of the property. As it came around the
corner, it jumped the sidewalk at the exact spot where she was playing.
In that vision, I did not see her sitting there. I looked at Terri Lyn
and told her to move to another spot closer to the patio. She did not
want to move, because she was having fun where she was. I insisted and
she decided to park her little butt where I wanted her to be. The
second she sat down, that same blue truck came around the corner and
jumped the sidewalk at the exact spot. The truck was the same color,
with all the markings. As it continued on its' way, I climbed over
the patio rail and went and gave her a big hug. As I sit here writing
this,it bring back memories. I must be strong,if not for myself, but
for her. That is what I am getting at this moment. To this day, I
always react to what visions I receive, because it was shown to me
for a reason. Because of those visions,I am here today and so is my
oldest daughter.
I was very happy.I had waited almost five years to have her. I knew
I could get pregnant,
as I had three other children.
into bed with me, within five minutes from the time she started she
would fall asleep.Only time she was sick was when she started school.
She was an average child, and did well in school.She had many friends.
One of her friends, she use to come over and play with Terri Lyn. They
use to sit on the lawn in front of the patio, talking and whatever
young girls..young teens talk about. Listening to their favorite music,
which was "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins and "Sailing" by Rod
Stewart. The girl's name was Christina Weller...yes, I did say
was.You see, Christina Weller was murdered by the same person
who murdered Terri Lyn. He killed her in December, just before
Christmas,and the following July he murdered Terri Lyn.
She use to go to her friends places, then by a certain time, she would
call me and say that she had arrived. "How long can I stay?" She'd ask me
on the phone. I'd answer,"You know, 5 o'clock for supper." "Ok mom, see
you after, love you." I'd answer, "Love you too." Gradually as summer was
dragging on,[ like she would put it ]she was getting bored. I suggested
babysitting. No,that was not what she wanted to do.Someone told her that
there was an opening at the Fin "N" Feather pet store at Guildford. So she
decided she would go and apply. All that weekend she was happy, excited,
at the possibility of getting a part time job. She spent Saturday night
at her girlfriend's place. Sunday night she was still excited about a job
possibility. She wanted to be able to buy her own clothes, she knew we
were on a fixed income, and it was difficult to try and keep up with her
peers. I was all for her getting a job, and I wished her good luck.
looked good, I wished her good luck.She went out the door, and never said a
word. As she passed by the patio she had her head down.She didn't look very
happy and excited anymore..I couldn't understand why.
which was 5 minutes away, and then another 5 minutes for the
bus to arrive. By 3 pm, her friend Kelly called
and wanted to talk to Terri Lyn. I said,"I thought
she was at your place." "No, she said she would
call me if she got the job."
I said, "Call everyone that you guys know and see
if they saw her, I'm going to call the pet store."
something bad happened. I had that feeling of dread in the pit of my
stomach. It wasn't like her not to call me or Kelly.I called the pet store
and they told me something that I would never forget. "Sorry, she never
came in to apply for a job..." I asked, "Are you sure...?" and she
said, "Yes, I am sure. I have been here all day and no one with that
description came in today to fill out any applications." My worst fears came
to my mind.
just ran away.." That made me angry. I said, "My daughter did not run away."
They said a bunch of other things, not too sure as to what it was, all I
remember is that I was angry at what they had implied.I had made a flyer
and took it up the block to have about 500 made up so that I could put them
all over town. I showed the guy what I wanted and asked him how much he
would charge me to have 500 printed up. I didn't care how much it would cost,
I just needed to have them done. He said he was sorry and then told me
he wouldn't charge me. I had given him a lot of business before that, so he
knew us. I past them around, put them on the telephone poles, even had
the Satan's Angels looking for her. I do not know anyone in that group, but
they had a shop around the corner from us. I asked them if I could put a
flyer in their window and they said yes, after they looked at it.
had fries, gravy, coffee and cigarettes. I was always calling people to see
if they had seen her and the answer was always the same..."NO". The police

child goes missing, then you can tell me that.I am going to continue to talk,
and look and you aren't going to stop me."

I knew before they came that she was dead. I "saw" her in a vision, the
first week she was missing. They told me that she was dead..They had found
