		<description>Lauren,

I am happy to say that while Manessa&#039;s ordeal is not over, she has been released from the hospital and is with her fiance at this time, getting ready to try and start the next phase of her life. Its far from ideal, but she has spunk and is pushing forward with much spirit.

Gunshot victims are hidden from the public as a general rule, so its no wonder you haven&#039;t been able to contact her.  I will forward your message on to her and my wife has already read it and will most likely try to contact you shortly.

I&#039;m unbelievably sorry for you loss. I can&#039;t imagine what its like to think that &#039;mom just wanted to go to work&#039;, and never came home. If I&#039;d been in state at the time of your mother&#039;s funeral, I would have made a point to attend. The rest of the family was at the hospital with Manessa, so I hope it&#039;s understood why no one from our family showed. I know that you mom was more than liked by Kitty. In fact, my wife tells me that she was &#039;loved&#039;.

So far as we here in Connecticut know, all of the animals are safe and accounted for, though many are looking for new homes. 

Thank you for contacting us,

Chris Wilson</description>

		<description>Hi, Chris. We&#039;ve never met, but I&#039;m Lauren Tillotson, Deborah Tillotson&#039;s youngest daughter. I spoke with Kitty and Manessa both once and got to spend some time with Magic and the puppies when I spent a day over at their home. 

Our family hasn&#039;t been able to get in touch with Manessa to be able to wish her well or give her our condolences, so I was hoping you could do that for us. We&#039;re sorry for your loss and we hope Manessa&#039;s doing well and that all of the animals are safe and sound.

I&#039;d love to be able to get in contact with you at some point and speak, if you ever have time.

Thank you, God bless.

		<description>No need on any level to apologize. My thoughts are with you, my friend.

Hang in there.

		<description>Chris:

Words of comfort from a stranger may mean very little at a time like this,but I&#039;m sorry for the tragedy that you and your family are going through. I only know you through your podcasts, but you sound like a strong person. Your blog post shows you to be very caring as well. I hope time and the legal system will allow you, your daughter, your wife and her family to heal.

Stay strong and do what you have to during this time of grieving.
