SUSAN SCHAREN SHARES POEM

(The following poem was given to us from a member and the author is unknown.)

I sit in havenAnd watch you every day;

I try to let you know with signsI never went away.

I hear you when you’re laughingAnd watch you as you sleep;

I even place my arms around youTo calm you as you weep.

I see you wish the days awayBegging to have me home;So I try to send you signs

So you know you are not alone.

Don’t feel guilty that you haveLife that was denied to me;

Heaven is truly beautifulJust you wait and see.

So live your life, laugh again,Enjoy yourself, be free;

Then I know with every breath you take,You’ll be taking one for me…….

Moments from the Day of Remembrance

SPEECH GIVEN AT THE DAY OF REMEMBRANCE

Good afternoon everybody!

I would like to welcome each and every one to our 2016 National Day of Remembrance. It is an honor to be able to celebrate the lives of our loved ones together. It is in remembering that we will never be apart.

This year it is even more special because we are also honoring the lives of police officers who have been murdered in the line of duty since 2009 in Oregon and Washington. We chose that date because that is when we celebrated our first National Day Remembrance here at Mt. View Cemetery.

It is because of your presence that this day lets the public know the horror of homicide. It is in all of us joining together that we let others know that over 16,000 people are murdered every year and the same amount are murdered by drunk drivers or on drugs. It will take all of us to work together so that we will be able to make a difference.

We make a difference when we vote for people who are in favor of rights for victims, speak out for protection of society, support and provide assistance for victims and co-victims of homicide and provide sanctions when a serious crime is committed.

I know that all of us here are thinking probably on the same lines. We are so grateful that you are here. Many of you here have helped to give us hope. We thank all of you who assist, guide us, and work for our rights. Sadly to say, we get calls from all over the United States from co-victims who are not receiving the rights all of us have worked so hard to get.

There are so many unsolved cases. Solving cold cases not only provides justice for those murdered, it keeps a murderer from murdering again. Solving problems for those living in domestic abuse situationsis imperative. Children need protection

Again, we are here to honor our beloved children, parents, grandparents, siblings, family members or friends whose lives were stolen from them. We bring an army here with us that understands and does not want to tolerate homicide. We all can make a difference

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank all of you here. Together, we are keeping our loved ones near and forever in our hearts.

Mary Elledge

A HUMAN HEART DOES MORE THAN KEEPING US ALIVE

A human heart does more than just keep us alive;It takes more than just living

So that we can survive.

Colorful balloons will be released in the sky;We are celebrating our loved ones’ lives

So it is alright if we smile And a safe place for us to cry.

*WHITE BALLOONS RELEASED REPRESENT OUR LOVED ONES

Our heart is what we refer to When we speak about love;It is what holds us together

When we think of the world above.

Our heart is what we offer To those we care about;

When we truly love someone,We are not afraid to speak out or even shout.

*BLUE BALLOONS RELEASED REPRESENT POLICE OFFICERS

Our heart is what we give to show that we care;It is the symbol of togetherness During the best and worst times

That we share. *WHITE AND BLUE BALLOONS RELEASED REPRESENT

US TOGETHER

Our heart is the first thing we think about When we join together;It is how we can survive The stormiest weather.

So now when we think about a heart,It will remind us that sharing our love

Keeps us from ever being apart;Having our Day of Remembrance

Let’s others know those taken from usAre only as far away as our heart.

Remembering keeps our loved onesForever in our hearts!

Mary Elledge

*Balloons were released at this time.

NOVEMBER 2016 MESSAGE FROM MARYTHANK YOU FOR SHARING OUR NATIONAL DAY OF

REMEMBRANCE

The Greater Portland Area Chapter of Parents of Murdered Children would like to thank each and every one of you who attended our September 2016 National Day of Remembrance. The cold and windy weather did not keep you away. It was wonderful meeting new members as well as seeing our faithful members who help get our message out. It was also heartwarming to see supporters and people who care about the loss of life because of homicide. Though the weather was cold, there was so much love and support from all those who attended. The love and warmth of those who care about those taken so cruelly from us and those whose loved ones names were on the wall warmed each of our hearts.

There were so many people that we are so grateful. But, I want to mention some of those who attended or helped sponsor our special day of remembering. It takes all of us to make it be meaningful.

We could not have done this alone. First of all, I would like to thank the city of Oregon City and the employees at Mt. View Cemetery under the direction of Jon Waverly. They spent countless hours setting up chairs, tents, and getting the grounds ready for the event. They helped direct traffic and take everything down after the event. We could not have put on the memorial without them. The office staff, Jinny King and Debra Allen, were there as well to attend to all of our needs.

This year we added a special feature to our celebration. We read the names of police officers who were murdered in the line of duty from Oregon and Washington starting from 2009. This was the year that we started fundraising for our memorial. We read each of these names out loud. There were two of the names that were already added on our wall from last year. We are hoping to get permission from the other police officers’ families to add their names to our new wall when it is finished.

We were honored to have Chief Dave Ham from Seaside to represent Sergeant Jason Goodding who was the latest police officer killed in Oregon. Officer Goodding’s father attended as well. We hope that Mr. Goodding will know that we will be here for him in any way possible. It is an honor to have our loved ones’ names along with the names of police officers who were murdered helping us be safe. We hope that others will see how important it is for us to work together for the safety of each other. Their families are truly co-victims of homicide like so many of us.

We all enjoyed the music from Piper Mark Mullaney. It was heartwarming to hear the bagpipe playing as we started our program. It was truly an honor to have the Veterans of Foreign War from Post 1324. Seven of the veterans marched and presented our American flag. Anna Marie Woods sang our “National Anthem” as we proudly stood. At this time, we would like to thank Garvin Bruhn, staff member at Mt. View Cemetery, for all his help with our sound system. Gavin works hard at getting the speakers and songs heard by all who are attending.

Mary Elledge, Chapter Leader, opened the memorial celebration. Keynote speaker was Rosemary Brewer, Executive Director for the Oregon Crime Victims Law Center. Knowing her personally is truly an honor. She is doing an excellent job of helping co-victims go to parole hearing when inmates are being released. She does a remarkable job as an advocate for those co-victims attending the hearings. Ms. Brewer is able to help keep dangerous inmates from being released. Along with the staff from the National Crime Victim Law Institute (NCVLI), she helped read nearly 600 names on the wall and names to be placed on the new wall when it is completed. Other staff members that read names from NCVLI were Rebecca Khalil, Scott Flor, Julie Hester and Melanie Kebler from Oregon Crime Victims Law Institute. The readers did a remarkable job and wanted to be sure each name was correctly pronounced.

Gayle Moffitt read our “Heart Poem” and three bundles of white and blue balloons were released by Delores Cook, Karen Cornwall , Mary Elledge and Chief Dave Ham. Our POMC song, “Thank you for Holding My Hand” by Mary Elledge ended the program.

We especially would like to thank BCT and their staff for their many years of bringing their barbeque wagon and furnishing and cooking hamburgers on their grill. They have supplied the barbequed items and condiments for grilling for every event we have held at Mt. View Cemetery. What a group!

Gayle Moffitt designed our program. Delores and Lee Cook donated the beautiful floral arrangement in front of the podium. On behalf of all of our members, I would like to thank the following people because it takes all of us to make it a success. None of us could do it without their help. Also, the most important thing is to thank everyone who attended. Without an audience, there would be no “Day of Remembrance”:
