Letters to the Editor-mailto:nickyswriting@comcast.net


****************************************************************

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:

My family has been through so much. My mother and father,
Richard and Sarah Allard of North Berwick, ME. Have lost now 2
children and 2 grand children and so much more than that. I
cannot even imagine or compare the pain of that to anything in
life. Justin, being the 2nd of the grandchild lost after losing
their grandson Jay who on March 29th, 2004 was killed in Iraq by
a roadside bomb. Jay was the son of their daughter Sheila who was
murdered in 1994. My parents adopted Jay and raised him from the
age of 9.

Now yet another tragedy strikes my family, who through all of
this have managed to stay together and take care of one another.

Justin, my nephew, who was mentally challenged, most likely had
no clue to what he was doing when he accidentally killed himself
on the night of September 27, 2005. His mother Cindy, who has
taken such great care of Justin alone with no support from the
father in any way, found him during her nightly check before she
went to bed. I am sorry to any mother that has to go through
such a thing.

Cindy was just getting by being forced to stay home to care for
her son and in no way has the funds to take care of these next
and trying days. So in order to help her I have set up an account
for her to help lessen the burden of the cost to bury this very
loved young man.

Please send any donations you might be able to spare to the following.

Please mail donations to:

TD Banknorth
Attn: Teller Line
353 Central Avenue
Dover, NH 03820

Make checks or money orders payable to Cindy Allard

You can also donate by sending a PayPal payment to
justinallardfund@yahoo.com

All funds will be used for funeral and burial expenses, as well
as anything else she may need at this difficult time.

Any questions you have may be directed to me (Nicole Allard,
Cindy's sister) nickyswriting@comcast.net

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you.


R.I.P. Justin Allard

Born: February 17, 1988 - Died: September 27, 2005
