:(I am new here. My story is a another sad one. My mother died in 2002, and my sister was convicted for it. BUT it was a tragedy for both. I miss my mother all the time, but I know my sister never meant any harm to anyone. It was a matter of bad circumstances that led to this horrible tragic situation. It has literally destroyed my sister's life and had a terrible impact on my own. I will never get over the horror of this sad situation. I am including the link to the website for my sister. www.freewebs.com/mercy_for_cindy/

Dear Nomi67, I'm very sorry about your Mother and Sister. I looked a little bit at the website. My Mother murdered my Dad and Grandma in 1990 and was found mentally incompetent to be tried. She went through her share of bad treatment in the state mental hospital, so I was sad to see this kind of info on your site. While my Mother as far as we know never took Prozac, it was prescribed to her the day before the murders and she was nearly hysterical over it, so this was a contributor to her state of mind. I'm going to look over your website more as I know how these issues can devastate lives, and I know that mental illness is real, and not every person who claims it is faking or trying to get out of the charges. I know this from what happened to my family. It's a very real thing that isn't dealt with enough and society has a huge stigma about, which is wrong. I'm glad you found this site and hope you find some comfort here. Take care.

On your site, I noticed you say your Sister is not a monster. Thank you for saying that. Some of us where the family member is the perpetrator find this term hurtful when applied to our loved 1. I do with my Mother. I never wanted an in-person relationship with her again after what she did, but I did feel love for her and still do. She wasn't a monster either. This term doesn't always apply as every case is different and personally I find it offensive at times. Thanks for listening.

I thank you all so much. I had hoped to go see Cindy before Xmas, but won't be able to. Hope I can maybe after tho. Age didn't use to bother me, but I am 67 years old, and right now feel more like 90. My own health is not good, just like Cindy's. I truly feel my heart is broken, and I don't know that will ever change. I am a survivor tho, I just hope to GOD I can survive all this. It seems ever since the night the tragedy happened....it has just been one long, continous nightmare. I have practically begged some of the talkshow hosts to help me get exposure to her case...so far, noone has bothered to even reply. I worry about her all the time. I know she grieves over our mother, same as I do. I really don't think it will ever end(the grieving). I lost my second husband(in 1999, my father(2001), both to long drawnout illnesses...then of course my mother in 2002, and Cindy in 2003 to prison. I have always usually found something worthwhile in even tragic circumstances...so far I have found none, in this one. I feel I must try to help Cindy, because noone else is going to. AND she helped me with both parents, when noone else would. I am trying to get at least 600 signatures, then see what the governor will do, but it is a slow go. I am thankful for every signature I get....so thank you all again.
