Fact: On Nov 29th 2000, Chrystie Windiate and her girlfriend were killed by a hit abd run driverFact: The driver " Marlon Jones " plead out with 5 yrs deferedFact: In 2001, I formed Chrystie's Kids " who help with domestic violence victims, child abuse, and families in needFact: In 2005, we had grown to where the board members felt we needed a P O box at the Post Office, so I went down and got one.Fact: Two days after I got our P O Box I received mail in it for " Marlon Jones " and "Anthony Lawrence"Fact: I was so devestated but I asked for a new P O Box and was told they didnt have another one but they were be careful and not put anymore of their mail in my PO BoxFact: Two years later, and notifing proper authorties, Post Master, Post Master General, several times,, MADD has tried to explain that it throws me in a tail spin everytime, and again we will watch, and a postit note was put up on the back of the box stating not to put Jones, or Lawrence mail in this box.Fact: It continued and I went to the Police Department, at this time I felt I was being Harrased, because they have to go pass the note on the back to put the mail in the PO Box again we will be more careful.It has been 2 years, and many tears, and it still is happening, I got a piece of mail for " Marlon Jones" Saturday.It has thrown me so much it is like throwing salt in an open wound over and over.

As if Ennis' Audrey Merritt needed any more suffering. Here's the latest from the mother who lost loved ones to an Ennis Lions superstar football player several years ago:

Let me start by saying that I am truly sympathetic to Mrs. Merrits loss of her daughter. But every time I hear of it in the paper I can't keep from asking myself...when is this lady going to move on. Surely her daughter would not want her to carry on like this. Surely her daughter would not want her mother to be crippled by the sadness and grief that she so publicly still displays to this day. And Mrs. Merritt is not the only victim in this case. Has anyone stopped and thought about the way this has affected the young man who was responsible? Yes, he was young...have you, Mrs. Merritt, never made a mistake. He didn't purposely set out to run your daughter over. She shouldn't have been in the middle of the street at night. I'm not saying that your daughter deserved to be killed, that's not what I'm saying at all....I would just like you to think about the young man's life....EVERYONE involved that night has been affected, and each of their families have as well. At what point do you try to move on and deal with the way things are? God is in control, and he was that night too. Are you cursing him and publicly trashing His name? He could have saved your daughter....when it's our time, He takes us... no questions asked. And no wonder you are getting harrassed, as many times as you have been in the newspapers blatently trashing the young boy....you're going to get harrassed. It's not fun I am sure to be reminded of what happened in your shoes...but I'm sure it's not fun in his shoes either. He'll never forget that night, just as you wont either. The only difference between you and him is that he seems to be trying to move on from this crisis. I applaud you Mrs. Merritt for not letting people forget that your daugther died, but I pray for you to find some kind of peace with all of this. You can't heal until you've found peace...and your public displays of always bringing up your loss is proof that you haven't yet found it. I don't know you, or Marlon....but just try not to forget that you and your family isnt' the only one affected by this. Each time you bring it up, you are making this guy relive what he tries to forget each day. It's not going to bring your daughter back by making the guys life hell....surely she would not want that.
