Dying is a lonely journey. Not only for the sick person but also for the family. As hard as we may try to avoid death, the truth is that we do a lousy job of it. Science and medicine will certainly postpone it, even staying healthy might seem to delay it, but the harsh reality is that death does not wait for you, it does not ask you, and it does not listen to you. Death ignores your feelings and wants; you do not matter to death…Death is the only certainty in life! We need to remember that our existence here is fragile, and we never have as much time with people as we think we do. If there is someone or someones out there that you love, don’t neglect that and don’t put off engaging with them because waits for no-one… Vic's Journey ended on 18 January 2013 at 10:35. She was the most courageous person in the world and has inspired thousands of people all over the world. Vic's two boys are monuments of her existence. She was an amazing mother, daughter, sister and friend. I will miss you today, tomorrow and forever my Angle Child.
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?” The frog explained to them…
A dear blogger friend of mine, Shirley, has had to come to terms with the death of her beloved son Raymond. Independant toxicology reports clearly show high levels of barium and selenium – both lethal chemicals, in his system. Yet the legal system has failed Raymond and family.
His widow was jailed for a couple of days for falsifying his will. His murderers walk free…
I am an avid follower of Law and Order, Special Investigation Unit, CSI, NCIS etc…. Having followed Shirley’s blog it is clear that the amazing forensic work in these TV shows are as futuristic and far fetched as a Star Wars movie.
I am reblogging one of Shirley’s latest posts. Please pop into her blog and support this brave mother!
Shirley, you are an example and inspiration to many! I wish I could do something to help you!
Remember “The dead cannot cry out for help – it is the responsibility of the living to do so for them.”

We will never forget, we will never give up
until we have solved the mystery of the
source for the two lethal chemicals that
were listed in Ray’s toxicology during
autopsy.
Barium and selenium are both lethal
according to CDC reports
At the web sitehttp://denied-justice.com is posted the laboratory toxicology report from the autopsy that was furnished to my physician and another that was furnished to an attorney on my behalf. The two reports are strikingly different. However both confirm the presence of a lethal chemical in the blood sample furnished by the coroner of Montgomery CountyPennsylvania. Both of the reports are altered, but by whom? No one will answer these questions…one report redacted the quantity that was probably more accurate than the one that was later furnished to Coroner at her faxed request…(also posted on this web site). What to do?
“Lab chemist accused of faking test results may have tainted 40,000 drug cases” According to the president of the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys, the: lab analyst in question had unsupervised access to the drug safe and evidence room, and tampered with evidence bags, altered the actual weight of the drugs, did not calibrate machines correctly, and altered samples so that they would test as drugs when they were not.
Ms. Dookhan, who apparently also falsely claimed to have a Master’s degree in chemistry, had a reputation for being the most productive tech in the lab; she would routinely process more than 500 cases per month, when an average tech could only process 50-150 cases per month.
She was also a darling to prosecutors working on drug cases. This may be because she would reportedly work on cases out of order for some prosecutors when asked, deliberately report negative tests as positive and report results for cases she never even analyzed.
While the impact this one chemist has had is incredible, the state’s public defender is worried there may be more than just one tech who have “cut corners or falsify results.”

At times the pain and feelings of desolate loss is overwhelming. I know it is because I loved Vic so much. I am grieving because I miss my child, the mother of my grandchildren, my friend. I miss drinking endless cups of tea…. sometimes laughing and sometimes weeping.
I have grown used to not constantly checking my text messages when I sit in meetings. I have actually forgotten my phone at home on two occasions. I miss the countless phonecalls, finding little notes everywhere…. a soft kiss on the forehead.
