hello, I saw this documentary of ron and two other prisoners from
Polunsky Unit. I cried from the beginning to the end and I have had Ron on
my
mind since. I just wanted Rons family and friends to know that i feel so
sorry for what happend and i think Ron was a great person, everybody makes
mistakes but it's not right to exicute people. I will always remember Ron
and have him in my thoughts for the rest of my life.
R.I.P Ron
I hope you're in a better place know.
Love from Sara, sweden

I wanted to say that my thoughts are with Ron, her family and his friends

I really don't know how to put this together but this website has really
touched me and has opened my eyes to the thoughts and feelings of the DR inmates.
As I read your website, I can only feel pain, fear, love and the preparation
for departing this world. It is a frightening feeling and for these young
men to accept their punishment and face it with strength I can only feel proud
of them. Although their crimes were fatal, their forgiven by God we pray.
To the family, keep on living and keep on keeping on.

i have been a visitor to the site regulaly and i only notices that ron was
exicuted the other day.
i cant bare the thought of a person being executed like a piece of meat woth
nothing like that, mr bush is supposed to be president of the usa, he should

After reading Ron's story I am sorry to hear that the State Of Texas has
put this young man to death . Just a baby , perhaps he should have served
life , but to put him to death was a shame. As I read , I realized he was
still a young man who had not still grown into a man . It make me wonder who
of us are not criminals .Isn't it the citizens that of American who are allowing
this Death Penalty to go on . I pray for peace to be with his family. Brenda

rough times we have to go through in life. but god has a plain. i know that
your son probly had dreams. just like the rest of us. his dream was probly
just to get out. maby he was put on this earth to serve that purpose. just
to remind all of us that we should take our lives the way we live very searisly.
and not to ruin it. yet his only first dream probly was to be free and to
be with his family. and thats one dream we dont ever think about untill it
is gone. i will am working on an album, i will include your songs name it

Dear Family of Ron,
Firstly, my deepest condolences go out to you.
I’m sure you miss your son, brother, father etc, very much.
I am from Australia and have spend time in the USA and unfortunately in the
Penal System there. After doing so, I couldn’t wait to get back to Australia
where we have an actual justice system as opposed to a system which sole purpose
seems to be persecution.
I am happy to say that I will never again grace the shores of the USA, nor
do I have any respect for that country.
I am proud to be part of a truly FREE society.
Take care of yourselves and always remember Ron is with you wherever you go
and guiding your hand in whatever you do.
He is unable to be seen but always around you, smiling and loving you.
Regards
N.

Subject: An Angel
I just recently stumbled across this site and I only wish I would have sooner.
I see justice has failed us once again!! A very young, handsome man has been
taken away by the hands of another man. Why is it that if one takes a life
their life is taken? When do things become God's decision and not man's decision?
I have read little so far as to Ron's life and I am not here to determine
if he is innocent or guilty....I am here to say whether he was innocent or
guilty he deserved more then living a life in the streets and having to learn
his own way. Our young men living in poverty, who usually have only one parent
caring for them are expected to be perfect law abiding citizens. When are
these people given a reason to value their own life...let alone anyone elses?
When they see that one parent struggle and fight to take care for themself
and their children with no help and no support are these young men suppose
to give in and live the same life? Yes, many of them can choose another way
out, but until you are there and you face these everyday challenges.....don't
judge!!! Again, I have not read all of Ron's story or why he was sentenced
to death yet, I am speaking only on the fact that until all are given the
same opportunities to live a decent life, we shouldn't expect anything more
than what they learn. My heart and Prayers go out to Ron and his family. I
know the system failed him, as it did my cousin; however, my belief is that
anywhere is better than here on earth during these trying times!!! Now comes
the right decision....God's decision!!! I may not feel taking another life
is right, however I feel that I don't have the right to determine that the
person that took that life should lose theirs'. Only He does and I assure
you justice WILL be served in the end!!!! God Bless you all!!
Respectfully,
Stacy

To the family of Ron Howard,
I was doing research online and somehow came across this story of Mr. Ron
Howard Sr. I can think of several cases recently where a person committed
a crime so evil and horrific that they deserve death. I’m certain most
people could.
But this, this is a case of one terrible tragedy being continued by an equally
devastating tragedy.
I hope his heart was opened to the saving grace of Christ Jesus.
Ron Howard… and Bill Davidson…Rest in peace.
And, may God have mercy on the rest of our souls for acting as if we were

it shocked me so hard that he has to go on the next day... On the next day
I've bet for him. And I looked for informations about
him and so I found his story written by Agnes-Lisa Wegner. I just could cry
or scream - I'm so very angry and disappointed from a State of "Justice".
I don't know what to say, but if you want to write with me I would be very

How devastated I am to know that this man has been murdered by the state of
Texas. What lesson has been learned from this, I will never know. Who is going
to kill the murderer who killed the murderer? May God keep Ron at his side,
and console him, as he was a changed man, and accepted his mistakes, and regretted
them dearly and sincerely. He became a man with a mission, and did no way,
deserve to be put to death by another person. His life of growing up in hell
on earth, on death row was enough punishment for any criminal, muchless, Ron.
I do send my condolences to Ron's friends and family, and to Agnes-Lisa, and
the other really close friends that Ron had. I received a letter from Ron
the day after he died....and he was so strong. It took two weeks to get from
Texas to New Orleans, and I cried when I received it. I held the Bible up
in my hands, and prayed for God to forgive him, and to accept him into eternal
life, if Ron had a pure heart. Only God knows what Ron's heart reads, but
I would say that he has God's mercy. Please Lord, help us to forgive. The
world lies in the hands of the wicked one, and we must never give up following
behind Jesus' feet. We must walk as Jesus would have, and preach the same.
Gentleness and Kindness, that is what Jesus wanted us to learn. Forgiveness,
without murderous retaliation. I wish that the executioner became a real Christian
before this took place, but until Armageddon takes place, this is prophecy.
We love you Ron, and I know that Jesus and God forgive your actions as a child.
You have grown to be a wonderful friend. Never can we turn our back on you,
and forget you, because your life was not useless, it was a beautiful life,
that has touched many that you would never even know about. Your forever friend,

He is a forgiving God and we all make mistakes. No matter what we do God will
always forgive us and continue to love us!!!! My personal opinion is taking
another life wont bring back the first one lost, why loose 2??!! Hopefully
youth can, will, and have learned from this situation.
Hopefully God spared Ron's life so that our youth can learn from his life.

As I came across your link, after being on a very popular web site, I began

Too late, to give the support that I so much wished I could have given before
that unfortunate day. I realize that this can in no way shape or form make
things better for the Howard family, or if anyone in the family will read
this, but you all are in my prayers. Especially, his daughter, who has been
without a father all these years, but now because of the unfortunate circumstance,
will never see her fathers face or hear her fathers voice. Nothing at all
could prepare you all for this day. As I am writing this, it is October 7th
at 1:56 a.m. Central time, and I felt compelled to write further. Don't know
if anybody will read or if anyone will write after me. But, know that after
reading this page, Ron has left an impression on me, and I didn't even know
him. May God bless you and keep you.

In this final hour
You are a angel that touched a life of many. I pray peace for you and your
family right now in this last hour.That peace of God would be with you all
and give you peace that passes all understanding. This begin for me months
ago as I was lead to your sight "by the spirit" of God. I set my
heart to embrace you as well as Polunsky Unit and was given a devine to encourage
the hurting and to speak of God's love and forgiveness to all man who would
receive.
To have known you was an honor and I thank you so much for sharing with me.
And in this final hour I sit at my computer interceding from Florida. Helpless
to the fact that I can not find news coverage from here but in spirit "I'm
standing still". Wondering "if your job on this earth is complete"
and wondering if now at this hour the heavenly angels stand posted at their
gates to receive you into a place you'll never experience no more pain or
suffering?
My prayer is for your family. Your mother and your children. All those that
had a special place in your heart and God reminds me that "we all knew
an angel". Something that the enemy meant for evil but He (God) was able
to turn it around for the good. You've touched many and you've steered the
youth. Find comfort and peace in knowing you did what you could do.

Dear Ron,
I just wanted to let you know that my thoughts are with you today. I have
a very dear friend in Polunsky and went through this a couple of years ago.
He did receive a last minute stay and he is still there today. I hope that
you will also be granted a stay, no one deserves to go through this. Please
know that a lot of people over here in Holland are thinking about you.
Love and a big warm hug from Holland,

Dear Ron,
As I prepare to go to the governor's mansion for a vigil awaiting your execution,
I want to tell you that I am truly sorry that the people in this state, myself
included, have allowed this to happen. We can never call ourselves a civilized
society as long as we continue this barbaric killing by the state. I wish
you peace and hope that you find a place for your heart and soul to to be
free.

Subject: Prayer For Ron Howard
Mr. Howard,
I see that today is the day for your scheduled execution. You do not know
me, but we share something in common, that is our Father which is in heaven.
I pray that you have found forgiveness and peace from God. It does not matter
how others forgive you or not, only God can forgive us for our sins. No man,
woman, boy, or girl is perfect, if so, Jesus would not have died for our sins.
I personally do not agree with the laws of killing people. To me this is a
contradiction of the law: It is illegal to kill a person, but it is alright
to kill those who kill. I just don't get that one.
You may, or may not get this message in time, I pray to God that you will.
Any way I am going to pray for you.
Heavenly Father, Thou Art Everlasting God; I come before you at this moment
on behalf of my brother in Christ, Ronald Howard. Before I go any farther,
I ask that you would forgive me of my sins, and cleanse my heart that I may
be worthy to come before your throne of grace. I thank you oh God for Your
grace and your mercy, for it has been grace and mercy that has kept us thus
far.
Father I come now asking for mercy for Ron. You know all about the situation
and only you can fix it. You already know the outcome, because You are all-knowing.
Now Lord, this young man has committed a crime and caused the hearts of many
to bleed. But in Your Word it states that many have sinned and have come short
of the glory. I believe this young man has repented for what he has done.
I believe that You have forgiven him for his sins. Now Lord I ask that if
it is Your will, that You once again will show Your mercy and grace upon him
this day. I ask that if it is Your will that You will move upon the heart
of Govenor Perry, to have mercy upon Ron. I ask in the Perfect Precious Name
of Jesus that if it is Your will, that Ron will not be executed, for Lord
what will be accomplished by his death? Please Lord work this out for this
young man, that he will be given another chance, for we know that we serve
the God of another chance, and for this we plead in the name of Jesus. Pray
oh God that if You grant this young man another chance, that he will be willing
to be used for Your glory, to help others who traveled the same path he was
on, that he will be an instrument in leading someone to do what is right and
pleasing in Your sight O God. Whatever Your will is Dear Lord, please remember
his mother, his children and other loved ones; please keep them in Your keeping
care and protection from all dangers seen and unseen. Bless Him right now
Jesus, help him to be strong and comfort him Lord, like no other one can.
Grant him Your perfect peace that passes all understanding. It is in the Precious
Name of Jesus that I pray, Amen! Glory To God!
May God have mercy upon your soul.

The Bible says at Proverbs 22: 15 - Foolishness is tied up with the heart
of a boy; the rod of discipline is what will remove it far from him. Since
when is death used to discipline someone? America is BACKWARDS. If sex offenders
can change, why can't Mr. Howard? Why? Cause he is a BLACK MAN. Being black
America does' not think highly or expect much out of us. Mr. Perry and Bush
don't care about BLACK PEOPLE. If they did, there would be no ghettos. Instead
of buliding society, they are tearing it down..one life at a time.

I'm french, 20 years old and I have just realized that we are the fifth of

but I hope you will have this message before tomorrow... You have to be very
courageous (I'm not sure of the word) ; I wish I could give you all the strength
I have with me in order to help you...
I wish I could fly to the USA to see and support you (I hope "support"
is the good word, I mean support, "carry" your spirit, your mental),
but I don't have any money... and it's too late. I feel like crying when I
imagine that tomorrow is the end of your way while MY way is not finished
yet. I have so much to do... Acting for abolition will be a big part of my
life, I
hope. Anyway, be courageous et say to yourself that someday, all that shit
and all these horrors will be finished. You'll be one of the person that this
fucking country that is yours (I don't have USA in my heart... and french
governement too) have killed... McCarthy and the communists, VietNam, etc.
My God ! I'm so depressed thinking that... You'll become the
symbol of this old thing which still exist now in so much countries : in french,
"la peine de mort".
I'm thinking that all that I'm saying now must not give you a big relief...
But please be courageous, I hope you will be "gracié" (I
don't have the english word) by the governor ; otherwise, ... you'll be happy
for the eternity, and perhaps you will be able to have a look sometimes on
your children...

Lord forgives us for our trespasses as we forgive those who trespasses against
us. I am sure you already have, but sit down with the Lord and have a heart

ahead of us. I am saying that to say this. Don't give up even when there are
negative people speaking against what you've done. I don't agree with what
you've done either, but capitol punishment is not the answer either. We look
at so many people that are in jail that has no sympathy nor remorse for the
things they've done and yet these are the more dangerous people that are on

Subject: you
Ron,
I know you don?t know me and I don?t know you but I came across your site
just out of curiosity to inmates on deathrow and wanting to know how I can
become a penpal to someone. I find my self now on your page everyday and I
just can?t get enough of your good ??My Life Chronicles". I wish you
could finish the story on the page 15 but its okay I kind of understand why
you don?t want to go into details.
I know all this doesn?t matter right now but I think you are a very handsome
young man and I hate that you got caught up in all that drama that bitches
put niggaz through, that?s the number one reason why you are in there. I think
if those people didn?t call you then you wouldn?t be in trouble now. I know
you think that.
By reading your story. Do you think that if you would have stayed home that
night with your girl, the only woman besides your mother who?s been by your
side through everything, that you would have ended up in this situation? That
girl must have loved you, I know because I am going through something so similar
to your life but just think of me as "Yolanda". You got shot three
times and you said GOD tapped you on the soldier but did he tap you hard enough
to make you realize that she was your woman and your place was with your family
and not in the streets. See that is where young men go wrong, they chase the
fast life and get nothing out the deal. Even though I know that you are a
good person and it sound?s to me that you where looking for comfort and a
home, rather than just being alone. You wanted someone that was going to except
you as being a part of the streets and then come home and play as if there
was nothing to talk about.
Being a woman in the shoes Yolanda was in I kind of know how she feels inside.
I know there are always three sides to a story but she loved you and you hurt
her so much that she just had to part from you. I know Denise loved you too.
Now at this time you see those streets weren?t worth the black tar they were
made of.
I read your life and trust me somebody should publish it or make a movie out
of it because it has a message that boy?s, young men, and older men should
see and read about. The message is so powerful that it sounds like GOD is
using you to get to the rest of his people. Ron, GOD has forgiven you a long
time ago he just would like to tell you face to face. He knows the real story
about what happened and he is looking at it in a whole different light.
I know you love your children and believe me they love and know you too, they
just don?t understand. They?re probably thinking. ??If daddy loves us then
why would he leave us??? Your daughter was the apple of your eye before you
left her you should have thought about her and her need?s. I read that you
said her birth changed your life.
I know you are a good person but you just seeked out the wrong people. I know
you wanted to do right by the people in your life you just wanted to test
the waters a little bit. I know your heart is a pure as gold because trust
me you are God?s work. I feel right now that I lost another fine black man
to the ghetto trying to dig his way out the hole and trust me you are fine.
I hate that you or anybody who honestly don?t belong there is on deathrow.
I think only the most devilish people belong on deathrow. Those people know
who they are. I know murder is murder but if you look at it murder is how
you did it. If you did it and you have nothing to fear behind it then you
need to go, but for people like you who has remorse in there soul and in there
heart, and knowing if I were to let you back in society, I know the worst
is really over, I know you would never do what you did again so you are not
a threat in my eyes and in my heart.
I wish I could have meet you in person. My husband is a spiting image of you.
He is almost the same age as you, except he?s 2 years older. He loves those
streets. He leads the same lifestyle and he does the same thing?s to me that
you did to Yolanda. Except we are really married. I wish I could save him
but sometimes I want to give up. He?s has a hateful soul. The devil sure knows
who to work when he wants to. If you give the devil a chance he might tell
you he?s powerful than God.
I want you to get that book published. You could have done that got you some
money and paid for a lawyer?.You are a piece of talent?That could have been
your job right there?.
By the way my name is Tiffany and I am from Inglewood, California. I am 25
years old.
If you can reply to me and tell me something I would be happy but until then
I will cry for you.

Hi Ron
just looked at your website...
although I could never condone any sort of killing, I know how easily things
can happen to us all in life, things that we wish we didnt do. but once done
its too late. I dont know whether you are a good man or a bad man, but I know
we all make mistakes, and if we can somehow try to put them right, even if
we fail, then we are better for it. I think this applies to you. In some cases
i think the death penalty is more than deserved, but having read about you,
my opinion is that it would be totally wrong to carry through the sentence.
I truly hope that you can escape from the nightmare situation you are currently
in, its hard to imagine what thats really like. Ron, I never believed in God
until some amazing things happened to me in the last 2 years, things that
could not be anything other the than Gods work. I'm not some religious nut,
I never go to church, but I know that God exists and forgives, so should the
worst come to the worst, you will be okay...believe me. I hope though that
you will be allowed to live your life and continue to improve yourself as
it seems you already have. Hell...nobodys perfect...I will be thinking of
you, so stay as strong as you can and know that there are people that care
even if there is not much we can do.

Hello Ron,
I am from New Orleans, and my name is Lynde, I want you
to know that I am now against the death penalty, and plan to do everything
in my power to have petitions against it. My father was a local politician,
and my cousin is a Senator. I will definitely do what I can do to prevent
these murderers from carrying out their dirty deeds. The person who gives
the lethal injection is a murderer in Gods eyes. For no reason does God
permit murder....and only He can forgive it. I know that committing a
great number of murders, the executioner will never inherit eternal life....because
he knowingly and willingly carries this out and receives monetary gain.
I am with you heart and soul, and will definitely pray for your survival.
Love, a friend here in New Orleans..................................

I'm a 26 year old white male who lives in suburbia who

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be loved, adored, and glorified
throughout the world now and forever, Amen.
Sacred Heart of Jesus pray for us, St. Jude helper of the hopeless pray

Ron,
"I wonder if you know" the life that is in your words.Those words that
will never be silenced. "I wonder if you know" how your words will reach
many. It's not just enough to read your words, but as I've found myself
@ your sight over and over again, "I allow your words to take me as far
as you can "to the place that you sit". As tears streame down my face,
I don't know you for myself, but my heart has become one with you. I intercede
for you, I'm believing God for you. As I close my eyes, I'm left with
the very thought, "I wonder if Ron knows" just how much others care.
But I'm frustrated ever so quickly by the statement & "the tone it displays".
"Your life hangs threatened each day, each hour, each minute, each second
and "Each breathe that you take". It's not enough to say, "I wonder if
he knows, "but" WHAT can I do. Ron ,"know that "I AM" (Christ) prays for
you to. He promises never to leave nor forsake you. Go into that silent
& secret place in your heart and mind. Allow Him(Jesus) to show you beyond
the place that is before you. The assurance that He (Jesus) offers can
not be taken from you. He promises in His word He will never leave nor
forsake you and He will comfort and restore you. Ron I found you just
"days ago" and I have not been able to release myself. "My" tears aren't
enough, but "I AM" ( Jesus) will see you through.
For whatever reason or purpose, I'm not here by mistake or circumstance.
There is no such thing as consequence or "By chance" in the life of a
believer, but a purpose in all things. " For whatever God has for me to
do, "Ron I am committed to encourage you through. In a couple of days
you will recieve 2 packages from me. I am waiting, I will wait. I know
you must recieve so much mail but I know what God devinely connects "will
be".
I have forwared your site to my family in Hampton Virginia and requested
that their Pastor & congregation left your name up in prayer. I have also
asked my husband to e-mail it to as many co-workers that he could find
on Mac Dill Air Base here in Florida. Be encouraged and know "What the
enemy meant for evil, "God is able to turn it around for the good."

Dear Ron,
I hope to find you in the best of health in spite of the circumstances
you're in, and in high spirits.
First let me say your story was twofold. Very inspiring and sad also.
Explaining to him that it takes a strong individual to stand up and take
responsibility for the mistakes that he made, and sad because of the situation
that Ron is in being on death row. First of all, I feel that the brother
did not have a fair chance in life being bought up in poverty and experienceing
the justice system at a young age, could be difficult for an African-American
teen. I am older now but as a young teen bought up in Harlem I both parents
and two siblings too hard drugs, which caused me to be unfocused with
no sense of direction. I can understand how Ron must have felt and feels
now being brought up the way that he was. And now finds himself incarcerated
on death row.
I do not and will never favor the death penalty in what way can the state,
government, or whoever say who shall live and who shall die!
I will continue to pray for you. May God bless you
anti-death penalty

if they desire to change or right their wrongs, they will ALWAYS be forgiven

Hey Ron
My name is Samuel. Im 20yrs old and from the other side of the world (down
under) in Sydney, Australia.I may be a stranger to you but I cant comprehend
what you would be going through now especially your family. I am sorry
that things had to be this way. I maybe living in a civilised western
society but I stil find it very difficult in this day and age that the
U.S still upholds capital punishment. I agree with upholding justice but
its the way its been conducted that raises question between justice that
creates pain or justice that creates peace of mind.
I was intrigued by your story after watching the movie "Monster" and wonder
maybe there is good and hope in thoses who are percieved as "evil" and
maybe one cannot understand this until they experience it.
My older brother has been in & out of jail for the past eight years and
he is slowly redeeming himself to a good individual. I just wish god would
give you the time to do the same and maybe the justice that is given to
you by god has a purpose to release and set you free from your pain, guilt
and suffering in this world. I do feel for people going through deathrow
espcially in your country.
I can only say there is always someone to look up to for evelasting strenght
even if you leave this world. Whether it is god or your family or something
society isnt familiar with-there is always something or someone to help
you.
Best wishes and my prayers are with you....and for a miracle.
Yours faithfully Samuel

I am a woman, 63 years old and living in The Netherlands. Two months ago
my husband and I were in Florida to visit my pen pal, who is on death
row. He is on death row for 28 years ( he was sentenced to death in 1976!).
Here in our small country death penalty was abolished in 1850. I am against
the death penalty, it is cruel, inhuman, against human rights.
I have compassion for all the people in the States who are on death row
and I think about them a lot. They are in my heart and thoughts.

Hi Ron,
I am Evelin from
Germany. You do not know me. I read the article in the German newspaper from
yesterday 20th of September 2004 in the Frankfurter Rundschau. I was so motioned
from your story and I read your autobiography. It moved my heart. You had
a hard childhood and I can imagine that it was not easy for you to be a better
men when everywhere is crime.
But you show that
it is possible, you know now that there were things which have been better
not to be committed. But I want you to know that there is someone who died
for your sins. This person died for everybody's sins, for mine as well.
According to my
opinion nobody has the right to stop anybody's life. No matter if it is a
killing or murdering by guns or whatever or executed by the "legal" government.
God, our creator has given us life and no one has the right to quit anybody's
life. I do not know if I express myself right if you understand what I mean,
because English is not my mother language.
Believe me I feel
with you and it pains me if I imagine those inhuman activities in jail.
I do not know how
you think about it and if you believe in God or better said in Jesus Christ.
I try to believe in him and I am a member of the church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Days Saints. I believe that the gospel is re-established on earth.
I converted from protestant to this church. It gives my answers to so many
questions. It is not my intention to preach you anything "holy". I just want
to write you something useful which can help you. If you have the possibility
to get a book Mormon I recommend you to read it, ask God with your sincere
heart with all your mind and willing, if it is true and you will get an answer.
I know that Jesus forgives you your sins if you regret them and if you are
willing not to repeat them. Jesus loves you and according to what I read you
do so.
Please know that
I am feeling with you and that I pray for you. I do not know if God will make
a wonder to set you free from jail but I know that God can set your heart
and your mind free. Nothing is impossible for him.
My thoughts and
prayers are with you.

Hi,
my name is Christina.
I'm the woman on the picture w/ Quannin and another lady which is my mother.
Well as you know Quannin left 3 children behind and I'm doing what I can in
my power to keep them together. Well I'm the mother of Lil Q. Right now he's
2 years old. More and more each day I look at my son and it's like looking
at Q. I keep in touch with Dominique everyday but it's hard to contact his
other daughter that he have by Lisa. I would like to send some pictures of
Lil Q so that you can also have something to remember him by. We will start
the trial soon (April 26,2004). We have been resetting this case for 1 year
now and I'm ready to move on with my life. This has been a very rough year
for me but I know that he wouldn't want me to live my life like this. but
I was the one to identify the body and I call the family.
Quannin is very
well missed by all. So I just want to confirm that the address is still the
same so that I can be able to write you or just send pictures of the baby.
By the way I don't know you personally but I know your sister and brother
I grew up over there the white house across the street from Q's granny's house.
Keep your head

Subject: From a mother of someone who was with death row inmates
Dear Ron,
I
am writing to you because a friend of mine in a forum knows your mother.
This friend of mine told me about your mothers birthday coming up and
asked for card to her to help chear her up. When I found out that your
mother lived in Houston, I told my friend that I would try to get our
mothers phone number to wish her a happy birthday by phone rather than
a card since I live just outside of Houston myself. You see, the connection
I have to my friend is threw a forum that I started
10 years ago when my son was in prison in Texas also. I as a parent needed
support from other parents that were in the same situation. To make a
very long story short, my son was in prison for 8 years and moved all
over the place. The last prison he was in before his release two years
ago was Ellis One unit and he was tagged as a gang member and was with
death row inmates.
I know all too well what a living hell it is in there from personal experiences
threw my son. I went to your web site and read your story and then went
to look at some of your pictures in there. When I got to the picture of
your mother and you and your sister I started to cry. I can remember all
too well when they still allowed the pictures of sitting on that same
ledge in front of my son in that little hell hole called a visiting room
and having our picture taken. I just guess I wanted you to know that I
as a mother know what you are going threw in there on a daily basis but
I am also aware of what your mother is going threw on a daily basis. My
heart breaks for you both in the knowledge that unlike my son, you will
never know what freedom is again.
I want to tell you that I think you have found your true calling in life
and maybe even your true purpose. You have written the most honest and
truthfull words that I have seen yet about your like and prison life.
I have saved the link to your website and will be putting it in my website
for everyone to see. My forum is called Guardian Angels for Inmates and
Family. I want everyone in there and anyone who may just visit to read
your story. I think you have a wonderful message to give to others and
I would like to think that some day and in some way, that you alone may
end up responsible for saving someone else from the hell that you are
living. I have a very strong feeling that your experience and truthfullness
may just lead someone else down the right road. You are to be commended
for your honesty.
I am sure that your own children must be in there own way very proud of
you. I know as a mother, I am very proud to be able to now talk to you
and tell you what a wonderful job you have done with your life and your
situation. When your time comes and the state of Texas commits one more
murder in the name of justice you will be remembered in my heart as one
of the most caring people that I have had the pleasure of knowing in a
very long time. You keep up the message you are putting out on your web
site and you will be blessed in the end.
You are a son to be proud of in my eyes. Not in the actions that have
put you where you are but in the actions and ways that you have chosen
to live your life since your conviction. You have my personal heartfelt
thanks for being an honest and caring person who has found what good morals
and justice should really be about.
Respectfully,
Susan Hill
