My Care and Concern is for You Alonie, May we come together for your support.

[Gwen Johnson]

Today I got a very touching note from Alonie, I saw the other side of the coin. When our officer Rajchel became offended, I knew it was out of frusteration, pain, and hurt. No one can fault you when you are hurting and grieving and the answers are not coming. No one can fault you for asking questions and for sometimes lashing out...I will post the letter here and if we could also support Alonie as a family member I would so appreciate you so very much for this.

LETTER I RECEIVED FROM ALONIE:

first i wrote the comment of of flustration, after seening officer raChel had join the group,i became angry, because i hadn't heard from the dept, since christmas on my daughter case. so my thing was how does he have time to join a group, when no-one in the dept would return my phone calls or reply to my email.
maybe i did go to far, but anyone who read this, put your self in my shoes, and have a daughter missing, and the only contact that you have about her is through the missing person dept. and you email and makephone calls and no respond, and you get a chance to vent your feeling to a person who work in that dept, what would you do.

Again i am sorry that officer RACHEL FELT THE NEED TO WITHDRAW HIS MEMBERSHIP, HE DID'T GIVE THE GROUP A CHANCE, IF HE IS THAT VINDICTED, MAYBE THIS IS THE WRONG SITE FOR HIM. BUT I TRULY HOPE HE WILL RETURN TO THE SITE, IF HE IS SINCERE ABOUT BEING A PART OF THE GROUP, WE ALL GET CALL ONTHE CARPET ABOUT DIFFERENT THING WE WRITE, BU TWE DO NOT FOLD UP OUR TENTS AND GO HOME. SO TO OFFICER RACHEL HPE YOU RETURN, ALONIE

MY LETTER BACK TO ALONIE:

Alonie, I think what you did was what you felt. We are all human and there is no certain way to handle anger and frustration when it comes to a loved one missing and hurting. I agree that it may seem as if he might have been wasting time when he could be using his time more to find answers to yours and others cases, I think maybe this would be a good place for you both to figure out some answers. Your feelings were raw and so is his, maybe not for the same reasons however. I think you are a wonderful mother, I think that you are wanting answers and I remember when I was there and trying to find my Alisha. I hounded those darn Police officers so bad they got tired of me im sure. So, my approval of how you handled this is not important, I care about you and what you are going through, I also want to bridge a large gap for you and for others when trying to heal the law enforcement/victims family fued that seems to be a whole lot of misunderstandings for both sides. Sometimes I think they must be besides themselves too, when trying to find someone, and they have lost out to dead ends in their investigations, and at the same time they may not know what else to say or do to go forward, much as we as families, sometimes dont have that understanding. Please be okay Alonie dont hurt to long over this, it is a start to a greater communication I feel. Believe me I will be on the phone soon if he doesnt return to answer his mail from all of us. Hugs and blessing sweet one.

Gwennie,

Huge, huge hugs to you! I'm so glad you listened to Alonie with an open mind and more importantly an open heart.

To you Alonie.......you are allowed to feel anyway you want. There are no rules, no manuals for what you are going through and certainly NO ONE can tell you how to feel or act. I know how it is, from second to second your emotions and behaviors change.....it's the worse roller coaster ride in the world. And, there is no one there to throw the switch so you can get off this crazy ride.

What I find so nice, so comforting about Peace4 is it is a safety net. I don't feel like what we share on here the other members are looking at like it's made for TV movie. So many of these "crime" boards are so full of hateful owners, moderators and members that don't give a rat's ass about the families. They sit and wait for the "bombshell." They don't realize that we are real people....to them we are just some friggen character in a story or probably for many of them some charcter like in a soap opera....the only difference is they can be interactive with us, but we're still just characters to them.

Peace4 keep up the good work!

Alonie....hang in there and lean on us.
