I'm sorry but I just can't get to worked up about "remains" that are over 5 years old.

What should we do, never ever get back with our lives after people die? I lost a wife who was the greatest person in the world, but life does go on or you can sit in your puddles of pity until you join the ranks or pick yourself up, get on with your life and look for the good in the friends and family remaining.

Me neither, and I wish they would just shut up already. Are we supposed to stop the world until every 1mm bone shard is found and DNA tested? Ridiculous. It was a horrible crime, but let's remember there are real men dying nearly every day in Iraq and Afghanistan to avenge these murders. Our priorities should be with them.

I don't want to sound cruel, but dead is dead. You cannot risk the safety and health of the living to give someone some small shred of their beloved ones body.

I agree with everything you said.

There comes a time when you just have to make a choice to move ahead; if you don't, you end up becoming a "Jersey Girl" and your life will be destroyed.

What you say is true. I would that all people who have lost loved ones could be so strong as you are. I don't know if I could be that strong - I've never lost anyone that close to me. God bless you.
