6. It's in the Old DU archives, which isn't searchable at the moment

I'm sure some good DUer will come across with a bookmark momentarily. Google actually is searching the old DU archives again, but mostly stuff from '01 is coming back for her screenname.

15. What sad and terrible news. I missed past mentions of her loss,

had just assumed her life had changed since her move across country and she was too busy for DU. Unless I dreamt it, she did post here once or twice a month or so ago and I was happy to see her name appear again. Please let her know that I'll be thinking of her and send my love.


:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: (((Catherine))) :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:


As a mother myself, my heart goes out to her in her loss.

[Boudicea]

[Raven]

18. There can be nothing worse than losing a child.

To have to endure a trial of his murderer is unbearable. Catherine is a strong woman with some great family support, I think. I wish her great peace and strength and I will be praying for her each day. No one should have to endure this. You have our love, Catherine!

[salin]

32. Sffreeways.....

Sending love, ((((((hugs)))))), and karma to give you the strength to survive the trial - and to emerge somewhere at the end of this and the most valent part of your mourning, with a level of serenity - that is probably hard to find at the moment. I can not even begin to fathom the strength it must take to survive not only his death, but no a prolonged trial. Much love, Catherine, much love.

[Rowdyboy]

33. I wish I could help...

My mom lost a son, too. I wish you peace and consolation....

[Seneca]

With my best wishes for Sff.

infinite hugs and best wishes sent her way. It sounds like a horrendous, heartbreaking situation for her.

36. Thank you for thinking of Sffreeways, Jitterbug

47. My heavens.. this must have happened during my DU absence...

All my love and best wishes to Sffreeways. No parent should ever have to lose a child and certainly not to violence. Hang tight, my dear Catherine. We are WITH you!

[Character Assassin]

48. I was utterly clueless. I thought he had gone off and joined the Marines.

SF, hang tough. I know from personal experience that murder trials can be long, drawn-out episodes of reliving every agony of the moments you first found out about his fate, but, although it may not always appear this way, the prosecution and the detectives are likely doing all they can to bring justice to your son's case.

As a homicide detective, I used to witness the families misery first-hand and personally, and wish there were something that would expidite the entire process so you can take steps towards dealing with this in your own way without the legal proceedings constantly reminding you of the event itself.

My heart goes out to you, I understand exactly what you are going through and you have my most heartfelt, sincere condolensces. It is a place that on one should ever have to pass through.

I wish you strength.

[Jack Rabbit]

49. ((((Hug!!))))

I had the pleasure of meeting sffreeways and her partner at a DU get-together a couple of years ago. She impressed me as a strong person; at times like these, she will need every bit of that stregnth.

[peekaloo]

50. Peace and strength to sffreeways

:hug:

[Khephra]

51. I'm so sorry to hear this

I haven't been the DU Junkie that I used to be beccause of the Dean campaign and work. I'm so sorry that I missed news on this.

DOUBLE-HUGS!

[UrbScotty]

52. May your son's murderers be brought to justice.

And may you be strong in your time of grief.
