Victim's response

Victims response

I think that is what it is called. When he is convicted what would you say, to him,to the court?

Each member of Rosie's immediate family is writing one. All of us won't get to speak, there are just too many us. But we want each of us to have a voice, maybe put some together into one statement like from siblings. So I have been thinking about this for a week now. How to put words down, how to say what you need to say!! It never will be right, it will never put the scope of our loss into words. But I am trying. I think it's important.

Below is the what I am come up with..

Rose Marie Woolwine was a beautiful vibrant young woman. She loved fiercely and lived passionately. She had a light that drew people in. You saw this light and you tried to put it out. You took advantage of her love. You embraced evil instead. But evil will never overpower light. Rosie's light lives today in her family. Especially in her children, 3 beautiful people who also love fiercely and live passionately. You being here is evidence of that passion. Her light will live on, her love will grow with her family.
You are nothing compared to this. A cowardly little man, who put a gun to Rosie's head pulled the trigger and left her like a dog. You will pay for this crime, here and forever. You stand before us in judgement and you will stand before God in judgement. Your only option is to admit what you did, beg for mercy and ask for the forgiveness you don't deserve.

  1. Such acts of violence are unforgivable to the human heart. I believe and always will believe that only God is capable of such forgiveness.
    May you find peace in your heart knowing that Rosie is in Gods warm embrace and her Love lives in her children.....<3 N
