She was so nice to me and Bubba (her son) I was shocked when I had heard what had happened, because one moment I was playing with Bubba, and the next, Tracy had shot her husband, and I would never see Bubba again.

she had been verbally battered by her husband, he had emotionally abused the children, and she wanted to leave the marriage.

THESE KINDS OF ABUSE EXIST AND ONE CURE IS MURDER.

SO IS WALKING OUT THE DOOR AND NEVER RETURNING.

I knew Daniel Shumaker extremely well as well as I knew Tracy extremely well and I feel that it is not right for anyone to make judgements when this was not THEIR FAMILY!News reports are meant to be informing and unless you were effected by it I find it hard to think that you could relate. I have forgiven Tracy and I think that if I can forgive someone for killing my next of kin you should be able to also.
