Karen,
I am so sorry to hear that the young man found in my neighborhood was your son. I will pray that you receive answers to many questions you must have. You and your daughter are in our thoughts.

Thank you for your kind words. It has been a year and a 1/2 since DJ died and it is still so difficult. I find myself driving by the location where he was found and wishing he had not died alone. I was an ER nurse and witnessed many deaths. I was with them so they did not die alone. I wish someone had been there with my son.
