Sorry if I attacked you. This is very hard for me. I miss Janet so much and I am her trying to help her family get through this.
Again I am very sorry.
Thank you.
I was just trying to say how much the Smart family changed my view of the LDS family.. it was positive for people who were so worried about Elizabeth, as I think we all were.
I want us to have a " Memories of Janet" thread for those of you who knew her and are hurting to post whatever you think of and remember about her life..
My screen name comes from my very best friend, who died under mysterious circumstances when we were both 25 years old.. I have nightmares about it all almost every night and it happened a few years ago now.
I think that had her death received coverage on the Internet, and if I had had a place to post about Laura, I might have either moved her family towards an inquest post mortem, as the death was ruled accidental, or I could have mourned and talked with mutual friends and people who knew her after she married.. I lost contact with her for the last 4 years of her life,, I have always wondered if she was happy, if she suffered any or if she died instantly, and if she realized what was happening to her. Her 2 babies ( 18 mths and almost 6 months) were in the car that she supposedly " fell out of" at a rate of speed of 55 MPH with her husband driving. I will never believe it though because their new mini van had automatic child locks and she wore her seat belt. I think he got away with murder..
He built a mansion in a nearby town ( life insurance proceeds) and remarried less than 4 months after Laura was buried.
I don't usually tell this, because when I do bring it to conscious memory, the nightmares start again, or the happy dreams of she and I always together from kindergarten through most of college together... I have never shared my story of why I am here until now except to one poster in a PM.
I feel very strongly that women are targets of male violence and that when their voice is silenced, we must speak up for them.
I absolutely do know the anguish you are going through and I am sorry that I didn't recognize your friendship with Janet right off. I would have been much more giving and kind. Please forgive me.
Hoping mightily for Justice for Janet.
God bless you and keep you.
