The next day came and my mom said that he had made it through the night, so I was really happy so I could go see him again! I had a basketball scrimmage that morning in Van Wert though, so I thought that I would be able to go and see him after that. But when I got out of the scrimmage I looked at my phone and my mom had texted me that he had passed. It was one of the toughest days ever. That was really hard for me to get through my head that he wouldn’t be with us anymore.
I’m probably not going to make it and if I don't tell our kids I love them. I am truly sorry that I can’t be there with you and our children in these tough times, but the world works how it works. Love, Tom

“Citlalee, pack the maize on the canoe” father shouted. “Yes papa”. Each morning, under the newly erupted sun, my father and I haul corn from the dense fields in the valley, all the way to the heart of Tenochtitlan. The trek last several hours and leaves my father and I with excruciating pain upon completion. After we gather a large enough load from the valley, we pack it onto the canoe in order to bring it to the homeland.
Hello Professor Clement after reading over the scenario again I feel that his death could have been caused by an accident because he could have been with some friends who were trespassing on the property and drinking. Therefore, given his age he could have been drunk and fell which may have caused him to hit his head. There is also the fact that he could have had a medical condition which no one knew about which could have caused him to have a sudden heart attack because a heart attack has no age of person. Furthermore, if the victim was not murdered and there was others with him but they were trespassing they would not want to get in trouble for being on someone else’s property without permission plus they could have been drinking and had
I, Chaplain Lee, am writing this letter to reach out to you to let you know that I am praying for you and your family. When we lose our loved ones, we have to go through the process called ‘Grief.’ The length of the grieving process varies from person to person but it lasts much longer than most people expect. Your loved one, our hero who fought for the freedom we so cherish, has made the transition three month ago. You may have learned to accept the loss and the pain may have lessened in intensity over time, but we all know that the sadness may never completely go away.
ID#513295 who entered the trailer to locate the body and declared time of death at 1934 hours. Roberts did not disturb the body, nor the scene. The deceased was later identified by his Florida Drivers License as William Gilley. I spoke with the property managers Mike Kenny, and Brian Fannon. Kenny advised they received a call from Gilley's boss who grew concerned when he had called out sick and then did not show up for work on 10/22/15 when he was scheduled.
At first when I was told I would be able to speak my mind as to what my thoughts would be on the effects of what happened and what Mr. Wilson should receive as a time to serve I knew exactly what to say, but when you begin putting pen to paper you get lost and all the fears and anxiety continue at a high level. Below are what continue to haunt me and my children on a daily basis. I still recall the time you woke up and looked over at me with this crazed look in your eyes. You kicked me so hard in my right jaw and right upper arm. I fell into the night stand, then onto the floor next to the bed.
I wasn’t able to see my father. I had no clue where my brother was. I was so alone in the world at such a young
Her passing was a major loss because she was the only person that really loved me she taught me how to cook, we went fishing and we always attended church due to her spiritual beliefs in the lord. Foremost, she taught me how to pray and read the bible. Lastly, we took care of family member’s children and I took care of her in reality and the family member’s children at a young age. She needed me there because she was overweight and had a considerable health issues besides her heart.
I didn’t grasp the fact that my step dad Patrick was risking his life at work, but when I did, I was angry for a long time. I couldn’t understand why he would risk his life for stranger’s lives. I wanted him to be selfish because if he died or was seriously injured at work, my mom would lose her husband and my brothers would lose their dad. Patrick has given me insight into the life of a first responder, and opportunities that helped me develop my understanding of why someone would want to be a first responder. My step dad Patrick is an all-around good person, and I am grateful he came into my mom’s life.
In my younger and more tender years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since. He ingrained in me the saying, “What you do not ask for you do not get.” He has repeated this statement repeatedly but we’ve always been unusually distant in the sense that he and I understood that I would have to be captain of the ship that is my life. As a young boy I was naturally reserved and did not like taking risks. Throughout my childhood I tried to integrate my Dad’s aphorism into my life.
After a death or loss of something close, people usually react similarly by going through the five stages of grief. These stages include denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. During a death of my Great Aunt, my family went through the stages of grief. I was close with her when I was younger, but I do not have many memories I remember with her so I did not experience much grief. On the other hand, my Great Uncle went through a lot of grief since she was his older sister.
I remember when I was going to start school. The school I went to was called Lincoln Elementary. It was just a short four streets down from my house. I was a little nervous and slightly scared to go. I didn’t want to have to leave home and be gone for so long.
