In the quiet after the storm of my sons’ tragic departures, I found a voice through writing. Each book I authored – ‘Jeffrey – The Injustice of Murder,’ ‘Bud – Homicide Turns a Blue Star Gold,’ and ‘Kathy – How I Survived Tragic Loss’ – serves as a lighthouse for those lost in the sea of grief.
Bud shifts the focus to my second son, a proud Navy serviceman, whose life was senselessly cut short. This book delves into the unique pain of losing a child who had dedicated his life to serving his country, and the bittersweet pride of becoming a Gold Star Mother.
In Kathy I lay bare my entire journey – from the initial shock and despair to the gradual, hard-won path to healing and helping others. This book is more than my story; it’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a guide that offers rays of hope to those who feel engulfed in darkness.
