More on my Friend Rick......
« on: March 07, 2010, 05:43:17 PM »
I wrote earlier this week about the murder of my Friend Rick's brother, Ray, during an apparent robbery attempt.
I went to the first viewing Friday evening and wrote about that and the kind responses here were overwhelming.

There is now so much more to the story. Yesterday morning Ray's wife was arrested along with her sister, brother and nephew for his murder. Two others were arrested today.... the guy who shot him and the guy who drove the car.

All have been charged with murder. Rick's Family now has not only grief but anger to deal with as well.

On top of all that I found out about an hour ago that one of the two guys that went to shoot Ray was the son of a Friend of mine and Rick's. We have been Friends with that guy for about 25 years.

EVery time all of us think it couldn't be worse, some other bizarre thing comes out.

I will probably be scarce on here for a while because I and another 25 year Friend of mine and Rick's have made ourselves available to Rick and his entire Family 24 hours a day for the coming weeks Just to handle anything they need.

Please continue with your Prayers for the Porter Family-

Mike

Wow Mike, I couldn't believe that this tragic story could become even more dramatic.   My continued prayers for the entire family and for you to have the continued strength to help them out.
