To the sociopathic coward who murdered my son:
The desire to confront you, to tell you exactly what I think of you, has simmered and burned in me since it because so obvious that you were guilty of taking away from me, forever, the opportunity to hug my son and share his life and laughter. Now that I have the chance to confront you, I realize, with breathtaking certainty, that there is no dictionary, not thesaurus on earth that contains the words I need.
You took from Ron his entire future.
You took from Ron his dreams, his future successes.
You took from Ron the opportunity to laugh, to feel the sun and the wind and the rain.
You took from Ron the opportunity to marry a woman he loved and who would love him.
You took from Ron the opportunity to have children and to be the most unbelievably wonderful father this world could imagine.
You took from Ron the love of his family.
You took from Ron the joy of watching Brian, Michael, and Lauren grow into fine young people.
You took from Ron the opportunity to share the rest of his life with Kim, his sister, his best friend, the other half of his soul.
You took from Ron the love of Patti—more of a mother to him than he ever had before.
You took from Ron the love of a father whose love and respect for him was deeper than he could have ever known.
You took from this earth the kind of man you never were, never have been, and never could be. Nothing can change that. No amount of anger I could vent, or tears I could shed, will alter the one, heartbreaking fact that my son is gone forever. There can be no words that will ever bring him back.
In a just world, you would have been found guilty of savagely murdering two human beings. You would have been sentenced to death. You would have spent the past year sitting in a sunless cell, awaiting the day justice would be carried out.
I believe that this world would be a better place without you.
There is nothing more to say.
You are not worth any more of my words. You are not worth any more of my energy. You are not worth any more of my passion.
You are not worthy to walk in Ron’s shadow.
