We just left our first stop. The families of Delwin Locklear, Jessica Lowery, and Ricky Bethea did an awesome job. Thank you! Hopefully the media coverage will generate some new leads. On the road now to Raeford.

So many of the little things that happen in ones life of a missing person can someone like me appreciate, Delwins mom stood before a crowd and spoke with strength about her son for the first time in seven years...normally when searches take place and or events she is not far from being on the floor, so broker, so much hurt, so much loss felt...not today! Somewhat a victory for me as her advocate, I was like a proud mother watching her knowing the most how far she has come. A moment in my life I will smile when I pull that memory for years to come. It was nice to see families bond and even laugh out loud, makes me chuckle inside of coarse in silence. This tour is like watching life in slow motion and at certain times, when not looking it bites you hard, so bitter at times one could scream, and normally they do. Never thought when I was a child I would be here standing in a street fight for those who have lost so much, it is definitely a something unless experienced, no human could imagine. Monica
