The degree of coldness -- the complete lack of human-ness on the murderer's part -- was stunning. He absolutely "got off" on the autopsy photographs. His pride in the damage he did while pistol-whipping his young victim was the most repulsive thing that I've ever seen.

While I understand and appreciate that everyone does not share my belief system, I will say that I do not believe in "death." I am convinced that it is a changing of worlds, much like when a baby is born. I am certain that my nephew now inhabits the "real world," at a different energy level. Yet, the separation from a loved one is still just as painful.
