    my heart goes out to anita morris and the entire morris family. we have a very unfortunate thing in common, i too lost my son (19) to violence on sunday, april 29th, of this year. he was shot and killed while standing in front of our home waiting for a friend to pick him up. no-one was ever arrested and the witnesses are refusing to talk. i know the pain that you are going through as this is also the first christmas that we are without our son. i wish with all my heart and soul that i could ease the pain that you are feeling, please know that you are not alone and that you and your family are and always will be in my thoughts and prayors forever! i am so very sorry for your loss. no mother should ever have to suffer the pain of losing her child…….

    may he rest in peace
