Each day is a struggle my love. The memories play nonstop in my mind
and range from when I was carring you in my tummy to the last moment I spoke to you wed. night. I love you so deeply I cant begin to detail the feeling of grief that I have. I struggle with if there will ever be any justice for you and your children . I do find brief moments of peace when I think of how peaceful it must be for you know up there. Til I see you again.....

Dear Lydia and J.J.,
We were neighbors in Deerwood. I lived across the street from you, (the Cutcher's house) and my son, Jordan, and Michael were friends. He was devastated when he heard the news, and we are all so very sorry. This is every parent's worst nightmare, and my prayers are with you continually for God's comfort and healing.

Nothing can express the deep sadness felt by everyone that knows the Newby family. We can only hope that the wonderful memories he has left us all will live on in his two wonderful children. God bless the family and all our prayers are with you.
