    His life was cut too short to have a chance to turn himself around, if he was even guilty in the first place. I like this concept for your blog - very interesting!

    Thank you so much Laura, It all started with Valarie, but I just look into their eyes and feel this nagging to tell their stories and so that's what I do. Thanks for your support it means a lot to me.

    God Bless

    Manuel looks so young! How sad that he wasn't able to finish her term and gain freedom. I also think it's sad that his grave marker has only a number. You're good to post something about him so he's not completely forgotten.
