I think the sister or sisters who did the headstone need a psych evaluation. Everything about it is wrong. And burying her murderer next to her is so wrong
Yes I agree. Hopefully he will or they will hire the money to hire a probate attorney to get an injunction for when the time comes. Thank God the Boys have started their own personal group therapy on this and they are conducting the group the way groups are done. The sisters are in some deep trouble though. Denial is a great Liar. So Handy for not seeing and feeling the real pain.
In denial?
I don’t think the executor-daughter could’ve picked a more gruesome inscription to put on the headstone. It sounds like she’s actually equating the mother’s stabbing with a sickness. The dad isn’t the only ghoul in the family.
My sister murdered my nephew. We had to move in the night. Noone in my family talks to me. I won't say it's ok. They all have her in their lives. I cant do that. Your not alone. My friend
Amanda stone I'm sorry for your pain. Most people don't even consider the _rest_ of the family when something so tragic happens. I wish your heart peace.
@@runningamok ... thank you. 💞
I am honestly, & sincerely am sorry to hear that.💐
Oh that's so very heartbreaking.. I've never understood how a mother could do such an evil thing.. I'm so sorry y'all have to deal with this
@@liveyourbestlife143 If you need a friend, please let me know. We may not be in the same city or state but we can always email. :-)
(My name is Vickie.)
Their father died in 2014 I think. It would be good to see how the kids have coped after his death.
Heartbreaking 💔 I can't imagine.. Why do people victimize the family? They are already victims.. 😢
How terrible that the community couldn't show them more compassion than this. How awful !!!
The children should have decided on the words to go on the head stone. Not the one who murdered her. I think it should be changed to help the children greave
Yes I agree. My mom had 7 children when she passed away and every single one of us decided what to put on her headstone. I wouldn’t give the man the go ahead until all my siblings agreed on what it was to say. That’s how this should have went. So sad.
I wouldn't want to be buried with the man who murdered me
Well it doesn’t matter to the dead person because they don’t know....it only means something to the living....& we’re all pretty morbid for dressing up dead bodies & spending $ on expensive burials...I don’t think dead bodies should be saved, they should be burned....it just seems weird wen u think if it...let’s put makeup on a dead body...why??
@@jeanakatherine9369 I agree 110%. The burial industry is disgusting. I'm okay with cremation, donation to a cadaver lab, donation to science, or even being tossed over a cliff and letting nature take it's course. Listen to the John Prine song "Please Don't Bury Me."
I'm so sorry for all of you. Your Mom is looking down on you all, she loved you loved you loads.
Love and Light to you.
Do you read the Bible? The dead are conscious of nothing it says....no where does it say we are all turning in2 Angels & going to heaven.....it sounds nice but I don’t know where everyone gets this idea from...literally it says no man has ascended in2 heaven except Jesus Christ the son of God....
I am so sad & sorry for your family for this devastating tragedy.
I agree with the brothers..omg he stabbed her..that is rage,,,how terrible..how tragic poor woman God Bless her I will pray for her
As I'm sitting here confined to my home due to the coronavirus.
I came across this video and watched it till the end.
I must say my heart just breaks for you boys.
I completely understand why you boys wouldn't defend your evil father.
I can't imagine having a loved one taken in the same matter your mother was.👼
PLEASE believe
when I tell you this...
Your mother is absolutely watching over all you boys.
Sending Prayers to you boys that the pain in your hearts ease.....
not for your father or anyone else
but yourselfs.
Set yourselfers free from this pain.
Otherwise your father will continue to have his evil clutches on your lives.
In no way am I asking you to forgive him or do what your sisters are doing ( I believe your sister/ sisters)
are completely wrong.
Don't ever forget, that all your lives matter and that's why letting go of someone who did you guys so wrong, Will free your souls in order to live life in peace and harmony again.
Your wives & grandchildren
need you all very much.
God Bless all you boys 🙏🙏
May you all continue to live your
lives in peace and harmony
( the only reason I feel I can add some helpful words, is due to my own horrific, horrifying and painful life I lived for 10 + Years.
It took me many years to overcome it, I really don't know when it's stopped. I only realized it, when I found myself happy again and no longer living my life so angry towards the person responsible for my pain)
I also fell upon this during the pandemic..... 1 year on from you, I didn't see the pandemic lasting this long !
Why did he kill her???? He must have had a reason no matter how twisted!! My heart goes out to the sons. They come across as really nice, decent people. God knows what the daughters were thinking when they commissioned the headstone!!!
I would like to know what transpired that made him kill his wife. Odd that it was never mentioned - there must be court papers. So sad that it has torn the family apart.
So sad! My heart breaks for you all.
I saw the headstone and thought it was doves. If geese, I don't blame him a bit.
Just watched this. I feel SO sad for this family. Then the lunatic sister put up a headstone with those encryption. Is she nuts?!? Your mother was murdered by your father! I am praying for all of you minus the "sister". May you each find peace of her senseless death and that your mother can rest in peace!!!
Heartbreaking
Twisted Sister and in Denial!! Shame on her!!!
Sorry That You are Dealing with this Heartbreak!!🙏🤤
Five lots of adverts in a 20 minute programme. And how many products am I now going to buy......none!!!! It’s really annoying RUclips
I'm so sorry for your whole family. You just don't think this could happen to a regular, happy family. God bless you all and give you peace.
My condolences to you and your family.
It sounds like your dad really didnt want to go through with the suicide. So what. Right? You all are brave to share this. Did your dad hear command voices? Maybe you could place another gravestone back of the other that respects your mother. I am sorry for your losses and prayers for your family. Sincerely,
This was very 😞 feel for the family mother’s are lovely beautiful no one should take anyone life
Go out to the tombstone with duct tape and rainbow of sharpie markers and redesign it the way it should be!!
I agree however if it’s reported he can get into trouble
I was thinking either file a lawsuit against the daughter for infliction of distress and seek a judge's order that he can't be buried there and the stone must be removed, or sneak in in the night and pour acid on it every time it gets replaced.
@@tmf866 I wonder if his sister is in denial and trying to keep the semblance of what used to be their family and hiding behind the facade of normalcy. Some people also have lost one parent but no matter how abhorrent the behavior is, they don’t want to lose the other parent. Grief manifests differently in people even among close family members.
I’m so sorry for what happened to your mother. It’s sad that your sister put that tombstone up that reads that way. I pray that she will have a change of 💜. It’s heartbreaking that the father you loved could do that to the mother you loved.
Man if there was someway to Get a new tombstone done exactly the same way minus the flock of geese and the passage go in the middle of the night and replace the one there now. But yeah just need to cover your tracks. I wonder if the father was a functional drunk. What a terrible terrible thing. Those daughters have a terrible problem with denial. In a few years maybe sooner then that the resentment and anger will manifest it s self. They ll be acting out in all kinds of ways and wonder why “my life has come to this?”
Very sad when a family is divided
He was probably always abusive to the mother but never showed it to the kids. Kids usually don't catch on especially if the person distracts them by taking them out on a trip, give them gifts, while they spent alot of time out of the house at school and with their friends, going to college. I have no doubt in mind the abuse was always there the kids just didn't see it.
Because abusers are good at having two faces. This poor woman who put up with a toxic person every day in her life just for her children.
To all women: It doesn't matter if you have kids. Leave if you don't feel right.
[Do it quietly ] [ never speak a word for your safety ]
I wonder what meds he was on. My family member was on a heart med it went crazy. I mean flat crazy.
It is sad enough when a family loses a beloved member, but when a father murders a mother, it is devastating. I know when I lost my parents it broke my heart, but you realize that it was their time, and eventually the pain eases. When a tragedy happens, as in this case, there is no closure for the anger, and no understanding for the why that it happened. I hope these brothers can push past their hatred of their father, maybe someday forgive him, but always remember their love for their Mom, and how she wouldn't want her family to be divided and at odds with each other. I really think the sisters were wrong about the headstone, and should have consulted with the brothers before putting it on their Moms grave, it is just not right to have to be buried next to your murderer. And the writing on the headstone is ludicrous considering the circumstances.
The kids should have their wishes granted for how their mother is buried. I'm so sorry they have to fear they would be like their father. It was a choice, they won't make.
All I can say why are some of the family say it's ok for the dad to kill there mother murder is never right
I wonder if they ever confronted their father. What a terrible tragedy.
You'd be amazed at how unsatisfying that can actually be. Most people who do something terrible, deny it or give answers that don't meet expectations and leave you with more questions than answers.
The truth is that fathers face look like he was tyrant
@@FallingGalaxy and they already believe their own lies.
@@FallingGalaxy you’re so right. There is someone in my family who was abusive and apparently if I confront them and forgive them MY life will be better. I don’t think so
Head stone yes needs too be changed
To..
Not..
TOO..
@@jdonnelly7354 Bully
Make a memorial place for you and your brothers for your mom, she is not in that grave, you don’t need to go to that grave and look at the headstone, she is in your heart not in the grave.
So sorry this happened I hope you find peace soon. 😀
Forgiveness would probably help them to heal.
And yes def. The Father doesn't need too be burred by the mother. My heart goes out too this greaving Son\ father. / Husband. Yes its sad that Small towns have too know every one knows every body. And roomers spread like wiled fire
Too many spelling mistakes in that one..
You'll have to retype that..
It's shocking..
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Light relief
@@jdonnelly7354... I'm just wondering if you and Helen McDonnell were bullys as children too? Just leave the Poster alone already...🖕
Oh good grief. The grammar and spelling in this post is appalling.
Foregiveness bring healing.
Very true... Does , but
With time too... 🙏
You are so right
I agree with all of the Boys in this case that Yes there needs too be further thural investagation
Thorough..
Not..
THURAL !?
Investigation:)
Horrible,she will never rest with her murderer buried with her , insane
Yes I agree with the elder Ciblings
The sisters were wrong in putting that inscription on the tombstone because it is not true! He cold-heartedly murdered the mother! Who gave them the right to do this?
*🔴Their mother was there for them in sickness and in health.*
What a sad story!
Does anyone know why he killed her?
The sister's account is online. She says that the father had had an affair for about 10 years, for which he felt very guilty. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge & thought the Masons were going to find out about the affair and publicly 'out' him. He became increasingly paranoid and controlling of his wife, and seemed to totally freak out after the September 11 attacks. She was supposed to leave the house to have lunch with some high school friends that she'd rarely seen over the years and he was suspicious of their motives for getting her out of the house away from him (maybe he was afraid they knew about the affair and would tell her?) So he planned a murder-suicide. He was released from prison early for good behavior and was mentally competent enough that he was able to live by himself until at least the age of 80. Very bizarre story.
Thanks for the information
Kim 🤗
Have a great day 🙏😀
In my opinion- your moms spirit is not where she is buried. Her spirit is with you everywhere. When you think about her, when you talk to her.. she is there 🙏🏽
She should not be buried w with him, horrible
What the frog is wrong with his sister ?
I'm angry about "dad" being buried nex to his victim who was taken away, far too soon from her kids and grand babies.
💔
My heart is broken for this beautiful family. The town should of rallied around them . But possibly since it was so traumatic people were too afraid to reach out, not knowing what to say? This is when you needed understanding the most. I don’t know but your family has to find some closure and not let this destroy you. But I know you have to go through different emotions to heal. Faith in God and knowing he is going to take care of all the injustices in this world gives us all strength in these critical times. May the peace of Jehovah God that surpasses all understanding guard your hearts and mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Philippians 4: 6,7.
The sister(s) don't seem to be thinking of your poor mother very much. That said, I'm not surprised this broke down, the men in the family vs. the woman. The sister(s) are acting like battered wives. Do they not consider they could so easily be next? "Oh no. Hed never hurt ME!" Do they have low self esteem or what? Sometimes I don't understand woman at all.
That woman is his wife not his sister. They have a son who was 9 when the mother/grandmother was killed. She's referring to loving her husband as much before as after it happened. Then says she wouldn't trade him in (meaning her husband). Later she says that her own father died (9 minutes) and her husband's father was like a father to her. Listen around the 4 minute mark and he is saying he doesn't know if it's hereditary or not but loves his wife and she may have to keep an eye on him. That's when she says what she did. No sisters in denial in this film (although they still support the father and why the family is split and the sisters aren't in this video).
Very sad story but the words on the tombstone is quite disturbing and obviously that what the sister or sisters are.. I would replace .. I hope he wasn't buried next to her.
I understand the tradition of burying married couples together and my family has the two person headstone for my Gma & Gpa but he's buried in another location. This family maybe could consider doing the same.
How old was the father when he killed his wife, is it possible he had early dementia.
Father was 71/72. Mother was 65/66.
That's a good thought, sometimes people with dementia become violent.
I know how you feel.
I think behind the scence..abuse was happening unknowing to all..mom said nothing so it came as a total shock to the family..there had to be signs..i have seen many documentaries..but..the raw pain here i will always remember.
The sisters and brothers divided .this will cause a continuous division in generations if they dont try to thrash it out.
The sister's account is also online. She says that the dad had had an affair for 10 years and felt guilty about it. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge and was for some reason terrified that they knew about the affair and that they (or someone else) would tell his wife. He became increasingly controlling of her, and she had health problems that made it easy for him to isolate her. She was supposed to go to a lunch with a group of high school friends she hadn't seen for years and he was paranoid that they would tell her about the affair. He didn't want her to go but she insisted she was going. So he planned a murder-suicide. Essentially, the man murdered his wife over HIS OWN guilt.
@@imnida1731 POS father,
RIP to mom, great sons.❤️🙏❤️
What a sick horrible tradgey . The father needs too be in Prison for life. Why would he just Murder his wife then try too kill himself . or in state Hospital with around the clock supervision A nd care. And no freely any time you want Visitations by Family or anybody else. Strick visitation and Has too be supervised
Sweet Poem. .💒🎉
Where in Canada was this?
You Just Need To Remember The Good Times.
What your father did was wrong .. But i can see you and your Brothers love each others ... What your sisters done is not aceptable .. But don't let it destroy your lives.. Learn to forgive, it doesn't me you have live with the sinners .. Your mother would want you to be happy .. Very sad what happened to your Family xx xx take care may God be with you and your Family xx xx
Did I missed something, I didn't hear the reason why the father killed his wife.
Where did this happen?
I don't blame you.
Not right
If their father truly intended to kill himself then technically he shouldn't be alive now. He knew how to make sure his wife could not survive but didn't make sure he wouldn't survive!!!!! If he is/was released and keeps on living, then it's my opinion that he truly didn't want to die too.
I have cared for people who tried to commit suicide and failed with horrendous life altering injuries.
@@tastx3142 I do understand what you are saying. I was trying to point out in the context of what happened on that day and subsequently after. His attempt on his own life was far less physically harming to himself compared to what he did to his wife, leading to her death but not his. Which leads me to think that he was determined to end his wife's life but not his, in my opinion. Of course I am no expert.
You are wonderful sons. Don't worry, he won't have a nice life., unless he's a psychopath and has no,feelings he lost all of you...he'll be miserable the rest of his life
To many ads
HEARTBREAKING
I won't know whom I am buried next to when I am dead, but still, the graves are for the living. CREEPY!!
There father's wrong bizarre killing of their Mother has nothing to do with You it's not Your fault. Prayers for You.
Try & Forget The Evil. & Free Your Spirits.
I'm sorry about what happened. I don't know why he did what he did but I believe your mom is in heaven with Jesus. I'm sure she has forgiven your dad and is happy. Try to go on and be happy. Im sure your mom would want that.
You can have a brain scan done it can tell u if I have had f
any other type of trans to your brain or head injury u were to young to remember ,ask your Dr to refer u to have it done . Just a suggestion that can help with maybe some things . I'm very sorry an I do agree with u your biological dad shouldn't be put next to her since he killed her !!! I feel that is a very terrible thing to do !!! I would ask him just to have a lie detector test to help ease your n your brothers mind an family . An in my mind anyone who refuses is guilty an hiding things . Just saying ! I mean if a person isn't guilty of something like murder n other crimes they have nothing to fear or worry about!!!,Just saying . May your Mother RIP💐
If you no you will take after by your own father in the way of do it to your own wife you need to be shown your self you are not your own father you are not different than your father father family and you are the same person you grew up and no it you will not have to do what your father did you need to learn from the past you will be able to change the way of your father did and no you are the only person do love your wife and your mother and father for many generations to. Come and you have to living life for the future and your family for ever in your life and move on from the life you no and move on with your family instead wow that all
I am so sorry for you all, I do believe that you can still love everything about him, all the good memories of him, until that day when he turned into a monster. You don't have to erase those memories, he was normal back then! Why did he murder her? Do you know? But the gravestone is horrible insulting towards your mother!!! You must file a lawsuite against your sister,it is a disgrace to your mother!!! Get a good lawyer, fight this case, I know I would. Go out in media also, like you are doing with this video, and make everyone know about your case. I don't understand your sister at all, was she not on good terms with your mother? Does she feel that your mother was neglecting her or treating her different or something? I actually see this as a revenge from your sister to your mother! Have you thought about it from this point of view at all? YOU loved your mother, and your brothers did, but did your sister? How well do you really know her? Go fight this case, protect your mother, whatever it will cost you, your sister can NOT have right to decide against your wills. And against your mothers will!! Your mother deserves peace and respect but that headstone shows nothing of it. Another thing you could do is make a memorial place for your mom, a bench for example, or plant a tree and put her name and birthdate on it, and sign it with yourand your brothers names. Make it your place where you go to remember and pay respect to her. Let your sister go to that horrible grave but you can neglect it totally, make your own place to remember!
Was a reason for this ever found?
So wrong
Isn’t it absurd to blame a child for what a grandparent did⁉️⁉️⁉️
The sisters are wrong in so many ways
it's called "overkilling"...very emotional!...spontaneous, not planned...
So perhaps the justice would make a difference between murder and homicide?
You guys, I would recommend, take a look into spiritual spheres...everybody has his fate,...carma of 2 souls...
You are adult and living Your own life...Your parents trained You in a good way!
Cut off the strings of being child. Be adult.
You all are not involved in the thing of Your parents.
Look to the future of Your own families.
If your born and baptised Catholic, your soul goes to heaven before you die and God will judge everyone on judgement day , so my advice let your sister do what she wants to do because your mother will always guide you and look after you , having everything sometimes you have nothing , the most important thing is your happiness and love within your own little family , what other people think or say is none of your business, I remember a beautiful lady once told me after coming out of a pharicatric hospital there is a hair line between sane and insanity,, and I remember when I had post natel depression I never knew what it was but I certainly had black outs were I dont know what I did until I came to , leave it all in the hands of God get on with your life and focus on your child and wife ,
Where does it say that in the Bible? Ecclesiastes 9:5 explains the condition of the dead, so why would we need "the resurrection of the dead" if they were up in heaven watching over their loved ones?
Jesus came to earth for a reason. Can you imagine how insulting it would be to him to have everything he taught misrepresented?
DemonizedHumanBeings are everywhere...wearing their MasksOfGoodness...even amongst our close familiar ones. If only I knew decades ago what I came to learn too late in life; oh if only.
sounds like you’re sisters are after something.
Very tragic! Nice family! I bet the dad feels terrible remorse! 😢
Older men get that “old man anger.” Their frontal lobe is deteriorated which controls emotions, etc. so, this can happen.
Domestic violence leading to murder is statistically higher in younger men.
God is the only one who is the Judge, Those who Judge others especially those who are not guilty of any thing at all ,Will be Judge by God,
DON"T wait for yourself to go crazy. MY GOD MAN. People become murders because they let satan in and got rid of JESUS, they wanted darkness and this was the result. SIN is a choice, NOT passed down.
Not to make excuses but could it have been the Father had a bladder infection? The elderly can get mentally affected badly by bladder infections. I would be curious if he did. How long were they married for? I feel like he loved her the Mother and still does! My condolences lifted in prayer 🙏
A tragedy for the father too!
It is just a gravestone. The mother is dead, She do not care! Support your sister.
Another poster that does not appear to have taken any English in school. “She does not care”. That is the proper way to say that. And it’s a headstone as the result of murder. Get a grip
It’s NOT that easy.
💔
