Know This ! ~*Marge Tindal*~ He never did anything bad to anybody Never intentionally hurt a soul Oh, he gave a shove - took a shove but always took more of it than he gave Then you, you son of a fuddrucker fired a gun through the window of his van and blew him away ~ Sometimes - most times it's something you read about in the newspaper Happens to a stranger whose name you don't remember the day after tomorrow But sometimes - oh god, sometimes it lands right in the front yard of your heart The sirens aren't down the street the television cameras aren't in San Diego It happens in your friendship circle And when the bullets explode - the fragments cut into your heart So where is the remote to change the channel then ? ~ Wherever you are, you son of a fuddrucker forget that he was to marry the next day forget that his bride-to-be now wears shades of somber forget that he left four children in sorrow forget that you took his life But ... don't ever forget that for the rest of mine I pray that you will have to run for the rest of yours ~ as a matter of fact - I can guarantee it ~ *In loving memory of Dr. Kent A. DeLong February 2001 [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (edited 03-03-2001).] |

YOU BET HE WILL!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad that you decided to get this out of your system my sweet friend. It is about time you let some of it go. I know that the pain is still very much there and nothing can take that away right now but we also know that certain "SEEN" knowledge will find a way to bring it all to the light of day. Love and hugs to you my dear friend. YKIAHFY |

God! that's so terrible Marge! The words of truth are pouring out of your heart here Marge. When it hits close to home then the tradgedy of it all becomes so very large and real. I feel the depth of your painful anger and want you to know that I agree with every word! Love to you!! ethome |

Marge, So sorry this man lost his life. This struck very close to home for me. My father was murdered by some nameless face, for a few one dollar bills. Tradgedy that is so pointless cuts to the core. I feel your pain, and understand the loss. Prayers for the family, for you, and all who are suffering. Hugs, Debra |

Sweet lady know that you are in my heart and in my prayers and that if it were in my power that fuddrucker would be standing before you right now...God knows Marge...He knows and while that doesnt ease the pain in your heart...his day will come when he has to face this judge of all judges... |

This piece practically moved me to tears, Marge...I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. And, yes, he will eventually pay for his actions. And, I hope you know we're all here for you, m'friend...take care! sp do I believe we'd be better off apart? can I see my world without you in it? baby, not for a single minute... |

I know what you mean. It can and does happen close to home. A friend of my son's was murdered the other day. The sad part is, is that many people are affected by one lousy "fuddrucker's" actions. Melton |

Taking a moment to thank each of you for your tender, thoughtful responses. Please keep my sister, Lori, in your prayers, as Kent was her fiancé and her life has been turned upside down by this horrible crime. Special hugs to Martie, Mark, Marsha and Michael, and you each know why. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
