I hope for two things to come of this:

1. Your family to gain some closure knowing justice on earth was served.
2. The HELL Mr. Chapman is headed for is greater than any we can imagine.

God Bless

The outrage I feel for the sub humans that commit acts like these is
immeasurable. May all your prayers be answered. And you will be in my
prayers. God bless you.
Regards.
Gary

Hey Garry, we're still praying for you guys, and the well deserved fate of the jerk who did this senseless crime. I'd heard about it on the radio recently and told my dad I thought that it was the same guy. I cant imagine someone who could intentionally hurt a innocent child.

How does a person even begin to deal with this. I know that the Lord knows what you and your family needs and will pray that you receive it. Bad things happen to good people all the time, and vice versa, and I say this so that you think about the Lord and that he never abandons you even if you don't receive what you think you need and pray for. In these very liberal times our court systems have totally got away from the "eye for an eye" that the bible teaches, it is good to see that they followed through with this one. You hate to think about the way your family members had to pass but I think about our selfishness in dealing with death. The bible states "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord", we can't even begin to imagine how wonderful it is for them right now. We want them here with us because we miss them, but if you could get a glimpse of where they are you would not have them back in this crappy world. Sorry if this too religous, but some times we need to be reminded during hard times. Ward

Words cannot ease the pain.

You and yours are in my prayers. Your granddaughter is truly a remarkable young lady.

It has been my experience in matters like this to leave them to God to deal with. He has infinitely more resources and a much better imagination than I do. I am certain he has something special in store for this heinous miscreant.

Gary,

I, like the others, cannot know the pain you and your family have gone through. I know what I would like to do to the scum bag and it isn't very Christian. I know it won't bring your grand kids back but I feel there isn't a legal form of punishment suitable for this piece of sub-human debris. I am a strong believer in " an eye for an eye". Again, I know it doesn't accomplish anything but at least this piece of dirt will be removed from society never to do this again.

I did a search of this monster and found many articles about the incident. I read only a few, that's all I needed to read. Just from reading the articles I have become very emotional. There is not a lower form of crime than crimes against children.

I've said more about the scumbag than he deserves. Your granddaughter should be the one who gets the most attention, she's a hero. I again cannot imagine what she went through and what she is going through. I can only image that, along with the daily fear she has, she also is feeling guilt, very undeserved. She is a hero! She has got to be one of the greatest people ever born. She has shown more courage than anyone I have ever known or read about. Although she has gone through the most horrible experience imaginable she will come through it become a great adult. Please let her know your FTE family thinks she's the greatest and we all care. It might not be a lot of help but every bit helps. Give her a extra hug for all of us here.

Thanks guys, as Linda is out of town for a few days when I got the news yesterday and me with some kind of bug and not feeling well I guess I just needed someone to talk to or to just vent, as always my FTE friends have come through again. Sometimes but not always it helps to talk, I guess this is one of those times and I feel so blessed to be able to just have someone to listen, my sincere thanks for listening and for all the prayers,Garry

Garry you have my prayers and my deepest sympathy.

I too did a search for articles about Chapman. What I read has sickened and angered me.

God Bless You and your family.
