A Needless Death...Guns, and alcohol
Tuesday, May 26th, 1998
Last night at 11:00 a life was taken.
It was labeled an accident.
The life that was lost was a wonderful, vibrant,
happy woman that was loved by everyone.
The man responsible was her husband.
He too is loved by everyone he knows.
How did the accident happen?
He had been DRINKING since 11:00 am
and was STUPID enough to be showing his
wife of 35 years how to use a gun and it went
off and shot her through the chest, killing her.Tonight she lies dead in the coroner's office.
He has been released on $10,000 bond to await
a trial on a 3rd degree manslaughter charge.
He is being watched for possible suicide attempt
over the loss of his wife.
Do I feel sympathy or pity for this man?
No, I do not .Even though I KNOW that
he would never had killed her had he been sober.
The fact that he WAS drunk does not excuse
the fact that it happened!!!
I know he has destroyed his own life in this accident
and will have to live with this accident and
the death of his wife.
Do I feel sorry for him? No.not really,
He asked for it, even without knowing it.
Will he stop drinking now? I do not think so.
Will he continue to own a gun. Yes, I think so.
My friend. his wife, and the mother of of a
daughter and grandma to two grand
children is dead.
She cannot be brought back.
My prayers go to them all because they need them
and my prayers go to him as HE will have to
answer to the courts and to his God.
I must in turn deal with this death, which I am
finding difficult to do at this time.
Maybe in time I can understand and forgive him.
Maybe not.
UPDATE JULY 10TH,1998Six weeks have passed since this accident.
Much has taken place in that time, both in the
public eye and in my own.
My friend's husband, who IS a good man, was not
held or charged with her death
It was decided that there was no cupability and
it was indeed an accident.
As for me? I am, or like to at least consider
myself to be a Christian woman.
Therefore, I could not stand in judgement of another nor could I turn my back on a friend who was also hurting
Yes, I HAVE forgiven him. I have NOT forgiven the CAUSE of the accident though.ALCOHOL AND GUNS DO NOT MIX. ALCOHOL AND ANYTHING DO NOT MIX. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH
The two picures in honor of people
that died were created by my fiend and
"sister" PAMELA BLACKWOLF
I wish to thank her.
PLEASE FEEL FEEL TO TAKE ONE WITH YOU if
you have lost a friend or loved one in this
manor. ....dixie The comments and feelings on this page are
strickly my own.
I am speaking from my heart and am sorry if I offend or upset anyone
