darlene,

i am so sorry to hear about your son chris. it is just awful.

my brother jon died from aea on 5.11.01 at the age of 36.

my sister was convinced it was murder too - i spoke to the coroner and
police and they said it is very common for family members to consider murder.

ironically, my brother also just bought a new cell and signed a new contract
the night before he died.

i could just punch the woman that told you her kid(s) would never do
something like that - what an absolute insensitive idiot - even if she really
believes in her naive state that her kids would never do "something like that"
why
on earth would you say such a stupid thing?? ugh!!

and while i am punching people - i would also like to punch the woman who
asked for his bed and a bunch of punches to the "best" friend who isn't even
letting you into the place in which you lost chris.

i am so very sorry to hear that another young beautiful child has died to
aea. it is tragic to lose anyone to any kind of death but aea sucks the worst
for me because like you said, when you start telling people how your loved one
died they get all squirmy and uncomfortable. makes me want to talk longer:)

this site was a God send in particular the first 2 or 3 years after jon
died. i still read every post and touch base with people i have emailed since i
joined this site or they joined this site.

with love and prayers to you,
christy
jon's sister
