In Memory of Gaje Jeffrey Florence

Finally, it has happened. Murguia was sentenced in the death of our son, Gaje Jeffrey Florence. Where does this leave us? I really couldn't tell you because I don't feel any better like I had thought I would.

Please take a moment to read the news report that I had written on the court case that was on December 3, 2007. It took me a couple of days to write it because I didn't know what to say. What do you say when someone kills your child and then get's off with a slap on the wrist?

I feel like screaming and I sometimes feel like I am going insane. I keep wondering what Gaje would have wanted and how much he changed my life. I miss him more than anything in this world and it is hard to express the love that I have for him.

I have learned that people can be cruel at a time like this and that they don't take the time to see the passion that you had for someone so small or how you long for him. The say that I am going through post tramatic shock after witnessing my son laying there the way that he was. Post tramatic shock..... I don't think so, I think it is more along the lines of not being able to hold him anymore or to laugh at all his silly little jokes.

I can't say that I am sorry for the lady who killed him but I will say that this does not feel like justice.
