Thanks to everyone for the prayers and support, we could feel them. Thanks for all the text message's from all the family and friends from all across the country.  Thanks to the friends that gathered with me tonight to pray in the Court House, I felt strength. Thanks to everyone that came and supported us in the Court Room, the turnout was overwhelming. I know the hard benches along with the stress and long hours were not easy, but you'll stayed with us till the end tonight. Although Mike and Jerry will possibly never read this, incase you do, thank you.....the hugs were genuine, you fought hard for us the last two days......Thank You.

Tonight's sorrow ran a very close race with the night of Perry's murder, I felt like he was murdered all over again. The jury started deliberating at 2:56 pm and came back with the verdict at 9:00 pm. The second deliberation lasted only a few minutes and it was over by 10:00.  We got home between 10:30 and 11:00 tonight . I told Dathan the life I have been able to create and feel safe in has been all turned upside down once again. Mr. Jones (Perry's murderer) will go free in a matter of days. The jury found Jones guilty of Reckless Homicide which carries a one to five year sentence. Mr. Jones has already served that time of which he will get credit for. The final sentencing is March the 20th, 2014, and he most likely will go free that day. I feel like I have 8 days left to feel safe, we lived with the fear of this man for 2 1/2 years......we were afraid he would kill us. On March the 3rd, 2008 he shot Perry in the driveway of OUR home in cold blooded pre-meditated murder. Perry is gone forever, Mr. Jones will go free and be free to commit murder once again. Perry and I lived "watching our backs". Perry never harmed the man neither did I, nor was we poisoning him. He took the life of a man that was 30 years old, he will never get to see his son grow up. I could never describe to anyone the horrible events of the day today, the sorrow, grief, heartache and fear we feel cannot be described. Please remember Perry's Mom, Dad, Brothers and their families, they are suffering deeply tonight as well.

I have learned in times like these just how much our faith can be tested, not that I don't trust in God because I do, it is just so hard to surrender to Him in these trying times. God has gave me promise after promise through this, many promises came through one person that knew nothing about what was going on, over and over I received promises on the very day it was needed so bad, therefore I know God has me in the palm of his hand, I've just got to surrender to that fully and trust in him for my peace and safety.

Thanks to everyone again. Thank you Dathan for being such a huge supporter to me, you are a special gift from God to Tanner and I. He knew how bad we needed you, we love you.

I am going to include some pictures in memory of Perry, at least a couple of these pictures were presented to the jury today.
