Besides his conscience, there is his civility. |
Farrell's Bar in Brooklyn had urinals so large they looked like shower stalls for Toulouse-Lautrec. |
From the birth of Rachel's daughter, Lillian Rose Entwistle, last April, Rachel shared her greatest love -- that of being a mother. As the family continues to grieve, we also celebrate and are grateful for the time we had with Rachel and Lilly. |
It is very difficult obviously for the family to see him. |
Rachel and Lilly loved Neil very much. Neil was a trusted husband and father and it is incomprehensible how that love and trust was betrayed in the ultimate act of violence. We are heartbroken at the loss to understand how this happened, but as our pastor, Father McKenzie reminded us just eight days ago, God didn't do this. There is evil among us. |
Seeing Neil Entwistle standing accused of this awful crime gives us little comfort and only adds to our pain and suffering. We never suspected that Neil was anything other than a loving father, a trusted son-in-law and a husband. Neil betrayed our trust in so many different ways that it is almost impossible to describe it. |
The entire family is overwhelmed by the loss of Rachel and Lillian and the events of last weekend. |
They feel very betrayed. This was a man they trusted. They never saw anything like this coming. |
This affects us quite a bit. |
We have to stay open. We make pennies on the gallon. |
What's most outrageous in our eyes is that he entered our home twice in the course of these crimes, once to take the murder weapon and arm himself and a second time after the murders in an attempt to hide the weapon and perpetrate his crime. |
When the Dodgers left, it was not only a loss of a team, it was the disruption of a social pattern. A total destruction of a culture. |
Whether (the trial) happens a year from now or a year and a half, nothing is going to bring back Rachel and Lilly Rose. |
