Avery was a special child
Letter to the Editor,
I would like to comment on the story about “A special child to everyone she knew” by Art Lawler. There are not a lot of folks that can understand these words as clear as parents who have children with special needs, does. I know the struggles all to well and it seems that there are a very strong few that chooses to keep there children at home with them instead of placing them in a home away from them.
They just cannot and will not hear of it, because it is their child. They accept the day-to-day routine and struggles that is associated with this child, out of shear devotion and love. To hear the words of Avery’s father Jason and Craig Scott her step-father, struggling to assert a right not to resuscitate was probably the hardest words they have ever spoke in their entire lives.
Avery’s life mattered to everyone around her that knew her, even when the final moments came to let her go; even the paramedics were not willing to let her go either. Not until the order was given, they would not have stopped any other way.
Avery’s final moment is every parent’s nightmare, but a reality that each parent holds when they have a special needs child. It is the final moment they are willing to accept, because, they know, somewhere in their hearts, this was the last act of devotion to their child, it was her right to have peace. Again,
I will assert that parents with special needs children are very strong, and there are only a few, which chooses to keep their children with them. I applaud both sets of Avery’s parents, the ones that live here in Cedar Creek Lake area and her father and his family in Louisiana. My heart was deeply touched with this story.
I commend the acts of the paramedics and Judge Blaylock being the kind soul that I know he is. Avery’s life is still touching others and I have a feeling her mission here on earth has just begun.
God’s precious peace to all of you,
Cherie Ramire

Stick to the issues
It saddens me to see Betty Brown attempting to spread lies about her opponent being a district outsider. Lance Gooden was born and raised in Terrell and Betty knows this. Betty herself even briefly left the district to attend college before she dropped out and returned back to Terrell. Unfortunately, Betty continues to push this lie outside of Terrell, knowing that the folks in Lance’s hometown know better.
She should not try to distract voters from the real issue, her lack of effectiveness.
