We went to the funeral home last night and made the arrangements for David.  Because of the circumstances, we are keeping the services private.  After, my daughter and I went to the place where David died.  The police on the scene had marked off the spot where the car was parked.  There was a concrete drive and no curb lawn; however, the owner of the house had a big wooden flowerbox at the curb.  When David's friend went there earlier, they placed a memorial stone and flowers  .. they had to use the flowerbox because there was no grass right at the scene.  I was told that the owner of the house came out after she had placed everything and was a bit nasty about her using the flowerbox.  She was apologetic, and he relented.  When I placed my flowers there last night, I was able to see that she really didn't have anyplace else to place it.  Today, I am going to find something that I can put on the space for any of us to be able to place our memorials without worrying about whether or not the flowerbox owner is going to pull everything up.  I think next week I'll also  see if there's a company that can place a paving stone there for him. 

We are a bit closer to knowing who did this; people on the street talk, and they knew before we (the family and friends) knew.  The punks who did this apparently can't keep their mouths shut either.  They're going down .. sooner rather than later. 

I wake up thinking about him; wondering if he knew how much I really loved him.  We had our spats; I felt that he was being irresponsible and needed to grow up a little .. heck, a lot, but he was my baby brother and no matter what, I loved him.  He had so many people that cared about him; and so many people that he helped.

I went upstairs today and pulled down my scanner so that I could post some photos.

This blog is here so that ANY of his friends and family can post their thoughts and comments .. please feel free to ramble and write anything that comes to your mind.  I think it's a bit therapeutic to be able to write things down.  I'm a pretty private person, so of course, I have a hard time with writing down and putting out for public view any of my thoughts and feelings about such a personal tragedy, but even writing some of them down seems to help a little.
