Laci Peterson new conference

[bsnyder]

Her mother is reading a statement, and I don't think I can bear to watch any longer! Her pain must be unbearable!

I just feel so sorry for Laci's family. You could hear the anger in her mother's voice as she tearfully read her statement. I had tears running down my face. It is just so so sad.

Elise, My tears were flowing too Such a senseless tragedy. Every time they show Laci with her wonderful smile, I think about what a loss her family and friends must be feeling.

Laci's mother's statement was probably about the most gut-wrenching thing I have ever heard. I was crying too.

 

[grinningghost]

My heart breaks for that family. The pain must be unbearable.

 

[SonjaB]

I couldn't watch. Just being a mom myself made it too hard.

 

[C.Ann]

Yes - I cried too.. I have to say she was a LOT more controlled than I would be though.. I would have been a wild woman! She (and the rest of her family) have a LOT of class - they're being VERY careful not to say anything at all that could cause a mistrial or anything of that nature..

I can't even imagine what they're going through..

It's hard enough to lose a family member, but to something as senseless as murder, especially by her own husband.....I can't even fathom the anger and hatred I would feel. I'm feeling it now and I didn't even know Laci. Why didn't the SOB just divorce her??

It just tore me up watching her mother try to get through that statement. I watched it with my mother, and I was in tears by the time her mother started talking. I drove to my house in a rainstorm shortly thereafter, still in tears, and looked over towards the mountains (I live in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia) when I noticed the most beautiful full rainbow. Then I saw a fainter double rainbow just to the outside of this brilliant rainbow, and I had to think it was a sign from God that both Laci and her baby were in God's hands. It did give me a sense of peace in such a senseless situation. To me, I'll never be able to see a rainbow again without thinking of Laci and her baby.

That is beautiful.

Izzy that is nice.

 

[C.Ann]

That's the ONLY "good" outcome of this whole, sad situation - Laci and the baby she wanted SO much will be together forever and ever - where no one can ever hurt them again...

It broke my heart to listen to Laci's Mom. As a parent, I can't imagine anything worse.

 

[Serena]

izzy, thank you. That helped.

I don't know how she made it through her speech. She has amazing courage. She made she was going to get through every word. I was bawling, too. This is nowhere near over for this family.
