Hi Michiel,

Yes, that doesn't necessarily mean much except that she had a terrible loss so
far.

> And let's not forget that Joran van der Sloot has a mother too..

It must be torment for her as well, no doubt.  Hearing news sources quoting
psychiatrists stating how her son seems to be quite the sociopath must be
horrid.

> Terrible.

Yes, if ever someone should have been jailed, that fellow should have been from
the first.  From what Ron told me, he was finally jailed, after the 2nd child
died.   I seem to remember him telling me that since he was so young at the
time (6 years old) people wouldn't believe his account of what happened that
day.  He told me she carefully looked both ways for traffic and made him wait
at the curb before retrieving the papers.. Thank goodness or it would have been
an incredibly horrible tragedy.

Yes, I understand.  Ron had to as well.  Ron is about 60 (wonderful wife, can't
remember his birthday most years, but we're just that way <grin>). I don't mind
that he doesn't remember mine Lol.

Take care,
Janis
