Hello, my name is Elizabeth Geyer. I am the girlfriend of a Lifer at SCI Graterford. His name is George Trudel. I started 3 petitions that concern him as a Lifer HB135/ SB293/ and one for his clemency through GOv. Wolf. I am now involved with working with Saleem from Lifers Inc. out of Graterford, getting signatures for Lifers Inc. petition they created on their website lifersincpa.org. It is to expand the commutation system in PA. These Senate and House Bills are crucial for Lifers being granted eligibility for parole and resentencing of the 2nd-degree felony murder law in PA. I need all the signatures I can get. I know these petitions I created will help all Lifers. Who do I contact to forward them and get family and friends of lifers at SCI Dallas to share them and get signatures? please email at SLSSGROUP@VERIZON.NET or call my cell at 2673575000. Thank you very much...Elizabeth Geyer
being from Europe and with limited knowledge of US prisons through some pen pals, this piece was very informative for me. I wondered before about several things you touched on in your post, so I thank you for writing it.
While I'm with you somewhat on the curiosity of celebrating 9/11, I'm disagreeing with you on celebrating May Day. That's like celebrating the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to me. The scale of death are completely different between these two events, but it would still be celebrating death in the name of "patriotism."
I would rather that we called 9/11 something other than Patriot Day. Like Remembrance Day or something similar to that. And make it a week or something like the actual memorial services that were held back then. Oh, and it was Bush and his administration whom authorized this as a holiday back in 2002. Not Obama related at all.
I know this is really late, but I just refound you. I have been so busy and dealing with things that I have not been online to read.
I am so sorry about your Momma. I still have mine but lost my Dad to cancer in 2006. It is hard going on without our parents. Just remember you will see signs of your mom. "Winks from Heaven" they will be things out of no where. Your mom is watching down on you every day.
Please don't look back at past behaviors. Do not give up. Go forward. In time the pain will change, it never leaves. You just learn to live a new norm. The memories will be painful for awhile, but someday you will think of something about your Mom and smile. Sending you prayers and hugs.
Keep fighting. We are with you.
