To Megan and the William family my prayers are with all of you and especailly Megan. Please do know that GOD does have all power and His Will will be done. I am somewhat from the area (Bluefield,Va.) and I know sometimes things that happen in this region of the country will be kept quiet, but as I said GOD Will will be done and we as a people need to stand together, because as long as there is worldly man there will be racism. My prayers and support will be continously with you Megan and your family!!

I can’t even begin to imagine what you went through. Just thankful that you were able to make it out alive. I pray that you are able to heal emotionally and physically. May God grant you peace and serenity.

Megan, it is difficult to imagine how you survived the horrific ordeals you experienced day after day, night after night. It is obvious God gave you strength and that he brought you out of it, alive, with strength enough to share your story with your name and your face. Thank you for your courage, because nothing about this inhuman incident should be hidden. I’m praying for you and your parents and the person who alerted the police. God bless you.

Dear Megan,
I can not imagine the suffering you have had to endure because of these animals that violated you. I know that the wrath of the Almighty God awaits them. I want you to know that you are a SURVIVOR! God has given you the strength to get through this and He will get the glory out of it all! I am praying for your physical, mental, and emotional healing. Please know that there are decent and civilized human beings in the world that are sending prayers your way. May God continue to bless you and keep you in His loving care. Justice WILL prevail and again God WILL be glorified. I wish you peace, blessings, and love.

always remember that prayer changes EVERYTHING. and you may find yourself questioning God…remember This Too Shall Pass
This Too Shall Pass
If I can endure for this minute
Whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is
Or how dark the moment may be-
If I can remain calm and quiet
With all the world crashing about me,
Secure in the knowledge God loves me
When everyone else seems to doubt me-
If I can but keep on believing
What I know in my heart to be true,
That darkness will fade with the morning
And that this will pass away, too-
Then nothing in life can defeat me
For as long as this knowledge remains
I can suffer whatever is happening
For I know God will break all of the chains
That are binding me tight in the darkness
And trying to fill me with fear-
For there is no night without dawning
And I know that my morning is near.

Dear Megan,
Hang in there and don’t lose faith. The world is full of evil and injustice and good things happen to bad people all the time.
Come back stronger than you were before. Don’t let them win.

Megan,
I’m terribly sorry you had to endure this kind of pain. Stay strong baby girl know that there are people all over that have been touched by the atrocities these ignorant people put you through. Justice will be served, honey if not by the mans law by the almighty. Don’t give up, stay strong. I’ll pray for you.
September 25, 2007 at 4:01 pm
Dear Megan,
I thank God that you are now safe from harm. My prayers are indeed with you for your physical, emotional and spiritual healing.
I also pray that God will severely judge all those involved in harming you and restore to you double in restitution for all that you have endured.
May His Holy Spirit flood your soul with His peace and comfort on a daily basis.
September 25, 2007 at 6:11 pm
Megan,
My prayers of healing are with you and your family. I was born and raised in Parkerburg, W VA and I feel so ashamed!!!!!; that “people” and I use the word loosely, from my state, would commit such a henious crime against another person. Angels around. Blessings
September 25, 2007 at 10:51 pm
Megan & Family,
What a blessing you are still alive! God is SO GOOD!! The torture you had to endured was for someone else. You have a survival story that can be shared with the world. I am so proud of you for being so strong. I just learned about your this henious crime tonight , but my prayers will continue to go out for you and your family. I’t’s unbeliveble that after all the years of pain we have suffered in the black community we are still experinecing this type of hate. God is not pleased. We are to be one and love everyone,that was our new commandment. Please stay strong, and give God the glory, he will prevail for you. What you went through he knew you could endure. You are a survivor. Thank you for your bravery and sharing your story with the world. You are helping us all to see how careful we must be. YOUR ANGEL SAVED YOU, AND WE ARE GRATEFUL!! WE LOVE YOU! STAY STRONG!GOD BLESS YOU!

Megan,
My sisters and I have you in our prayers. The most important thing is that you know that the God we serve, will make this right. Hold on to his hand and don’t let go my sister. He will be there to comfort you and I will pass this on, you are just as important as OJ and Jena. Cheryl Pierson is my sister and as you can see, it is spreading thru the West and I will continue to send this to my friends and family.
Get well soon and we love you!!!
September 26, 2007 at 8:37 am
I pray for your strength and healing, dear Megan, and that you will soon have peace in your soul again.
September 26, 2007 at 9:10 am
You and your family will be in my prayers. What happened to you is utterly horrible and evil. You are a courageous young woman and I believe that you will help many people with your story of survival. I pray healing of all your wounds; physical and emotional. I also pray that justice will be served to those who so heartlessly abused you.
September 26, 2007 at 4:21 pm
Hi Megan,
I just learned of your terrible ordeal as I set reading my emails at work this morning. I was out sick for a few days and not once did I here about this unthinkable crime against you until today. But I want you know, that it is out in the open now. I have sent the email to all of my friends and they will in turn do the same. Something will be done about this, “Rest Assured”. Your thoughts are in my prayers and I pray that God gives you the strength to bounce back and be a shinny light for everyone to admire.
Take care sweetie.
September 26, 2007 at 6:02 pm
Dear Megan,
I am so sorry for what has been done to you. It saddens my heart so much to hear about this and to know that such sick people are in our world. I hope you know that there are so many people who do care about you. I am at a loss for words…but I want you to know that I care about you and I hope your wounds heal, physically, emotionally, and mentally, and that your story has touched many people. I hope that one day there can be permanent change for the better in this world. You and your family are in my prayers.
Take care,
Alison
September 26, 2007 at 6:09 pm
It breaks my heart to learn of your story, but I feel relief in knowing that you are healing by the help of your own strong spirit, and all of the love that is being sent your way. Thank you for being the voice of so many others who have been silenced.
Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.
September 27, 2007 at 8:32 am
Megan, it grieves me to think that someone has had to endure what you have gone through. I don’t quite know what to say, but I want you to know that GOD has spared your life for a reason, and in time HE will reveal HIS reason to you. Don’t give up or dispair, there are so many people that are prayer for you and your family. It is my belief that when one person has been wronged a whole nation has been wronged. There is power in prayer. GOD be with you today and always. As Salaam Alaikum
September 27, 2007 at 10:45 am
Your story brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry that this has happened to you. Now I am afraid because this could have happened to anyone, anywhere. It is unbelievable that in 2007 people still have enough hate in their heart to bring harm to innocent people only because of race. This is the makings of a civil war among races.
September 27, 2007 at 10:58 am
Megan, I am praying for you daily as you began to heal physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This awful series of events hurts me to the very depths of my soul as a mother, a black woman, and most of all a human being. I once heard a quote,”Evil triumphs when good men do nothing.” Although I am sorry you are dealing with this. I am proud of you for having the courage to make it public. People are under the false impression that hate like this does not exist anymore but it does. It just hides until brave people bring it forward. I sincerely hope justice prevails as much as possible.
September 28, 2007 at 8:26 am
Megan,
I just learned of your story in my sociology class the other day when we were talking about current events and googled it and found this blog page.We spoke about how no one had been speaking about your story like O.J. for example or the Jena 6. I just want you to know that we are all thinking about you here in Houston and hoping that you are feeling better and letting you know that our prayers go out to you and your family. It is a total shame and very sad that people in this world are still so terribly ignorant and vicious. Just know that not everyone sees people in color and that it saddens my heart that people still do. We are all created equal in the eyes of God and I pray for your recovery and hope that those criminals get all charges they possibly can. Get well soon Megan.

MEGAN,
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT HERE IN THE WHOLE WORLD THAT ARE ON YOUR SIDE AND PRAYING FOR YOU EVERY DAY. I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR OF THE TREMENDOUS PAIN AND SUFFERING YOU ENDURED. I FOLLOW YOUR STORY AND YES I THINK IT IS A HATE CRIME. THOSE 6 HORRIBLE SICKING HILLBILLIES SHOULD GET EVERY SINGLE THING THEY DESERVE. NO MATTER WHAT A HUMAN BEING DOES OR DOESN’T DO THEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO ENDURE WHAT YOU WENT THRU’.IT IS IN HUMANE.I WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOU AND KEEP YOUR HEAD UP CAUSE GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE TOO.

Megan… just hold on. I wish I could help you. All I have is prayer and know that you are thought of. I hope somehow that you can go on and live a peaceful life even with the evil that you had to encounter. Know that there are people that care for you even though we haven’t met… but I am with you in spirit…Hold on tight…
September 29, 2007 at 9:13 pm
Dear Megan,
Just like millions of other people around the world, I am praying for your complete recovery. None of us will ever know exactly how you feel, but we know that God knows. And please don’t lose faith in Him because of this. Sin is real and Satan is real.
But with the prayers and support you’re getting, I’m sure that we can all find a way to perhaps prevent this horribile act from happening to someone else.
God bless you,
Donnie

Dear Megan,
As each day passes you will become stronger. Never forget people all over the world are behind you through your healing.
September 30, 2007 at 6:56 pm
Dear Megan,
I don’t even know where to begin to express how deeply saddened, outraged and horrified I am to hear about what happened to you. I too heard a brief report on the news earlier this month, and then didn’t hear much else in the news recently. When I think of you, I see myself, my sisters, my freinds– it could have been any one of us– and I can’t believe that I am having to search the internet to try to find out how you are dong right now. I have had discussions about you with my family, friends and co-workers; and my pastor today held you up in prayer. We care about you and want to see that the people who did this to you are punished to the fullest extent of the law. I pray that the Lord grant you a speedy recovery, peace in your heart and strength to endure the journey that is ahead of you. God loves you, and I know that He will keep you.

I don’t know you. I loved you before I ever heard about you and even more now. You have sooo much courage and I HOPE that you continue to fight and stay strong dispite all the adversities you’ve been through and will still have to go through. Please know that you are a hero, you are going to change peoples minds no matter how much individuals try to stop you. You did nothing wrong. You are beautiful, and you are admired because you might now see a change yet, but you have sparked the minds of many that haven’t spoken up ever or for along time. Stay strong, continue to have faith in God and be blessed

Megan, you are in my prayers as well as the rest of my family. I heard of your horrible story on a local radio station “Elliot in the Morning”. He is a ’shock jock’ and he is absolutely horrified. After I heard the story (wondering why I hadn’t heard of it yet) I googled your name. You are a strong, beautiful woman, god knows what happened and those people don’t just have the judge and jury to stand in front of and testify. Be Strong!!
October 3, 2007 at 6:38 pm
Megan .. I am so sorry that you went through this herendous nightmare. I don’t think anyone of us can really understand the pain you have endured. Just know that you can make it through this. No Weapon formed against Megan shall prosper! I am praying that you come through this ordeal and praying for your physical, and most importantly your psychological health and healing. Even though those vicious vile people did these things to you , they can not take your soul. Don’t give it to them. May the Lord bless you and keep you and give you peace..
October 3, 2007 at 7:13 pm
Hello Megan,
I just learned of your situation by email. I know that words alone can’t heal you or take the pain away. I can only imagine how you feel and I do offer my condolences. I am praying for your full recovery, mentally and physically. You are strong and have already proved that you will overcome this. I am also praying for justice and not vengance. Be encouraged that God will see you through and know there’s many of us out here that stand in support of you.
May God Bless and Prosper You

Everything changes – nothing stays the same.
The universe is revolving – don’t sleep
Be strong – deliverance is coming – it won’t be long
The heaviness is simply the calm before the storm..
A storm that’s replaced with the still waters of peace.
You’re being set-up to be blessed
Hold on and keep repeating these words…
This too shall pass!

Megan and Family,
For he (GOD) will give his angels charge over thee, and that he has done. I pray that God keeps his angels linked around you and your family, and that he goes before you and make every crooked way straight in Jesus name justice will be done, this is only the begining. God said he is alpha and omega, begining and the end, there will be and end to all this mess working in your favor! Walk in your call God has placed before you.
God bless you.

i only heard about Megan Williams a few days ago, but when i did, i felt sick to my stomach. all i kept thinking about was how brave and strong and courageous she was and *is* for having endured those horrors — i honestly don’t know what is happening in the world with all of this increased racism we’re seeing, and continuation of hatred against women in general, but Megan, i am so sorry this happened to you. continue to be brave…YOU ARE LOVED! you are my hero…
October 6, 2007 at 8:38 am
Megan,
I’m deeply sorry for what these six animals( I personally believe that anyone who can do what these six have to another human being are not human at all) have done to you. My prayers are with you and your family. These six will be brought to justice. Stay strong and keep your head up. You did more then most do, you survived……
October 7, 2007 at 11:50 am
To Megan,
It is hard to find words to express the empathy I feel for you. For me this scripture has always helped me remember even when times were at their worst that God is at my side.
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was
walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the
sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he
noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one
belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When
the last scene of his life flashed before him, he
looked back at the footprints in the sand. He
noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, You said that once I decided to follow you, You’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.” The Lord replied,
“My son, My precious child, I love you and I would
never leave you. During your times of trial and
suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I Carried You.”
I wish you all the love and support in the world!
From one daughter of God to another

Megan Williams I feel for you dear. I’m sorry this had to happen to you but God doesn’t like ugly. You will be in everyone prayers. We will seek that you get all the help that you need. Much love.
October 7, 2007 at 3:14 pm
Megan baby you are a survivor. Despite your past, it doesnt justify what they done to you. You had an angel with you and you are in my prayers.
October 8, 2007 at 1:13 am
Dearest Megan,
Due to the lack of media coverage of this hanus crime you endured, I’ve just recently learned of what has occured by an e-mail a colleague of mine had sent. The Most High we serve never consults your past to determine your future so the mere fact that the media feels they can do this to discredit you & the events that took place is insulting to God’s Law. Megan I am in deepest contrite of what happened to you. NO ONE should be subjected to this form of revolting treatment! I know your anguish is great at the present moment but please challenge yourself to keep this in mind: Every set back is a set up for a come back. The Creator we serve is the Master of Restoration so be strong, be courageous and hold on firmly to the abundance of love & support that will always encircle you.
From the Core of who I Am to Yours
October 8, 2007 at 1:21 pm
Megan:
I am sick at heart over what was done to you and what you had to endure. I wish I could say something to help ease your pain, but nothing can do that. Please just remember that good people-and there ARE good people-will do everything they can to see that justice is done.
Heal, and know that you are in thoughts and prayers of many people.
October 8, 2007 at 4:13 pm
Megan you more than what has happened to you. Your ability yo survive this is already a testiment of your unyeilding strenth
October 10, 2007 at 12:44 pm
MEGAN,
THOUGH YOUR STORY IS TRULY SAD I HOPE THAT YOUR FAITH WILL LIFT YOU AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED AND YOU DID NOTHING TO DESERVED SUCH HORRIBLE TREATMENT.
“WHAT DOES NOT KILL US ONLY MAKES US STRONGER.”
MAY YOUR STORY ENCOURAGE OTHER VICTIMS OF HATE CRIMES TO PREVALE AND CONTINUE TO LIVE LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME.
TAKE CARE.

Megan, I am very sorry for what you had to endure at the hands of cowards without morals, normal intelligence, capacity to reason, or reason for being. Whatever punishment they receive it will never be enough.
Your story needs to be heard, and I hope people are working hard to give it attention.
I am a soldier in the United States Army, and I can attest to fact that the military is a great place to find direction and develop a foundation for success. I don’t know if you have access to my email address, but if you want some advice on the matter please contact me.
Good luck on your GED!

Sweet Megan,
I cried when I heard what happened too you. I can not begin to imagine the fear and pain you experienced at the hands of these monsters. I am ashame they are the same race as I am.

Sweet Megan:
I wish I could give you a hug. While my own experience was not as heinous, I am also a rape survivor and my heart goes to you for the pain and suffering you endured. You have so much love and support coming to you from around the world. Try to remember that when you go to sleep at night if images of your attacks enter your thoughts. I truly hope that your attackers spend the rest of their days behind bars. You never deserved any of this and in time, with the love, support and understanding of many people who care about you, you will heal. It takes time, girl. Hang in there.
October 24, 2007 at 11:36 am
Megan you are a strong brave young woman. God bless you and your family. Please Don’t Ever let what those ignorant hateful people did to you get you down or make you feel bad. We love you very much and pray for you always.
October 24, 2007 at 11:59 am

For all of us that cannot attend the march in your honor – know that we are with you in heart & spirit!
October 24, 2007 at 12:41 pm
They will not only pay for their crimes on earth, but will be face to face with God once they die. I don’t even know what to say to you other than Im praying for you.
October 24, 2007 at 1:57 pm

Megan,
We love and support you Megan. The following Tears From Logan was writtten so that people do not forget your story. God bless.
Tears From Logan
there’s a chill up on the mountains
it’s a West Virginia breeze
there’s a chill in the wilderness
brought a woman to her knees
there’s a chill upon her conscious
begging if you please
“I don’t know what I’ve done and to what degree,
but I’m crying from soul won’t you save my dignity”
My dignity
It’s a story of the ages
a story seldom told
between the lines of the pages
in blood ink red and old
it’s a story full of power
of young innocence sold
it doesn’t matter what she’s done and to what degree
you can hear her cryin’ weeping, “Won’t you please set me free”
Set me free
how could it be possible?
this here tragic fall
in a country full of liberty
where we’ve shed blood for it all
in the struggle for equality
somebody dropped the ball
now she’s scared all of her life no one knows to what degree
sentenced without a jury condemned without a plea
Without a plea
up in a West Virginia hallow
it happened between the trees
surrounded by beer cans
in the stench of old debris
a full week of home grown torture
from a cruel enemy
“This is what we do to niggers down hear”
Pursue it as a hate-crime? The question burns my ears
Burns my ears
let the history tell the story
let the history ring true
for years into the future
of what evil people do
this can’t just be a headline
that’s gone with the news
it’s impossible to know, I can’t even speculate
Let the story warn people of people full of hate
Full of hate

I don’t know if created this blog but you did a great job of getting the message across. Megan’s story is nearly unbelievable. It’s very said b/c it happened and that this is not nearly getting the media attention that it would if someone of another race, this had happened too. I just read the transcript of Megan’s interveiw w/ the local police dept. and what those six people forced her to do is unhumane. I don’t know what the punishment should be.
thank you to whoever created this site and keep the good work up. I was truly touched.

To megan williams-my prayers are with you. May God continue to direct your path. Lean on him and his understanding. God knows all! Please have faith that He will take care of you. He didn’t let you dead and He will surely see you THROUGH this.
GOD IS IN COMPLETE CONTROL.

I feel sad, I feel sorry and I feel so deeply ashamed.
I wish I could hug and comfort you, but I am afraid you might not be up for the friendly hug of a stranger – a white stranger. All I can do is reach you my hand and send you a smile of friendship.
No wait …
… there is more that I can do and will do. Raising awareness, speaking out and fighting against racism where ever I see it, smell it, feel it. I promise!
You are not alone

I am only 16 but still cannot understand why in the world somebody would do such a thing to you. I just want to let you know that my family and friends will keep you in their prayers and hope that the people who did those things to you get what they deserve and that is the worst. I thank God that he took you out of that situation, but at the same time it never should have happen.

Megan,
It was so hard for me to read your story and realize that something like this could happen to you in America, in the year 2007. I thank God that you survived and that you are back with your mom now. I am a 30 year old white woman from Atlanta and I want you to know that not all white people are like this and I certainly don’t condone ANYTHING that happened to you. I will be praying for you and I hope that you can move on from this nightmare and be happy. Everyone, EVERYONE is on your side.

Chère Megan Williams,
Je suis de Québec et je veux que tu saches que mon coeur est avec toi.
Dans des moments comme ça, je suis portée à questionner Dieu, le Tout-Puissant. Mais il sait pourquoi il se sert de toi.
Ton vécu vient de montrer la face cachée de ce monde dans lequel nous vivons.
Oui, si Megan Williams était blanche à 100%, son histoire aurait fait le tour de la planète dans une fraction de seconde.
Parce qu’elle est noire à un certain pourcentage, elle est black donc peu important. Et c’est exactement la raison pour laquelle je m’oblige à me prononcer sur son cas.
Je ne suis pas contre les blancs parce que d’une manière ou d’une autre je suis les deux. Mais je ne suis pas aveugle.
À partir de maintenant, nous devons choisir
1- Vengeance ?
2- Justice ?
3- L’indifférence ?
4- Apprendre les humains à se conduire en humain ?
Pour terminer, je demande aux gens qui torturent des noirs à cause de la couleur de leur peau de me dire clairement la raison qui les incite à détester les noirs?
Ce n’est pas seulement aux États-Unis que les médiats taisent des faits de ce genre. J’en sais quelque chose.
Étant donné qu’une proche de Mégane Williams soulève le fait qu’elle n’a pas rapporté la disparition de Megan par le fait que Megan a l’habitude de partir durant des semaines sans donner d’explication. Alors, personne n’a le droit de juger Megan Williams sur son comportement. On doit remettre en cause le système qui ne favorise pas l’épanouissement de tout le monde de la même façon.
Il y a trop d’inégalité entre les gens. Lorsque nous accepterons le fait que nous, les humains, formons une grande famille sur ce ”vaisseau” qu’est notre terre, nous apprendrons également à respecter l’autre, qui est semblable à nous.
November 12, 2007 at 4:15 pm
Dear Megan,
It absolutely breaks my heart to hear the HORRIBLE things you had to endure. But you are strong and you’re a survivor. These disgusting people WILL get everything they deserve. I’m praying for you and your family. God Bless You sweetheart.

Megan,
My heart hurts for you. I cannot believe that something like this can still happen, and people can still get away with hate crimes. I’m filled with tears for all the pain you had to endure. I will forever keep you and your family in my prayers. Those individuals will reap what they sew. May God forever keep you and your family in his loving arms.

Hello megan
I’m sorry if my english is not very good! I’m from Paris and I learn by a friend what happen to you.
So I look everywere in the press for an information or an article about your story because I think that people all around the world should know what happen to you because it’s not good.
I hope that you doing better now.
I hope sincerely that this people will have a big huge punishment.
Je pense bien fort à vous et j’espere que vous allez de mieux en mieux.

Megan,
I will pray for you and your JUSTICE! I hope that these people suffer for what they have done. No one deserves to be treated that way. As a white woman I am ashamed of some of the things that white people do. I sure hope that you hang in there. If you made it through all of that torture I know youve conqured the worst. My prayers are with you and your family. May justice be served. THAT IS SIMPLY A HATE CRIME!!!!

Megan,
I can’t even explain to you how upset and angry I felt when reading what happened to you in WV. I’m a white male from Baltimore, MD and I was held against my will in another country as a child for over a month, so I can sympathize with your pain, although I must say your experience sounds alot worse. Having the courage to release your name makes you heroic in the eyes of alot of people, myself included, because it is the publishing of stories like these that bring to light the problems we still have in this country. Nothing in the world fires me up more than racism, and I wish I could personally do something to ensure that justice is done to these sick people. You are a strong black woman, and I encourage you to continue living your life, go after everything that you want. You have alot of support down here in Baltimore, and if you are ever in need of anything, let me know and I’ll personally make sure it’s taken care of (you can hit me up@www.myspace.com/mailmanbigtim if you need ANYTHING at all). God bless you, I hope everything gets better with time, and know that you always have support and a shoulder to lean on in Baltimore.

Megan do not, under any circumstance allow the devil to rob you now. It is an understatement to say that this is a horrible event. I’m praying for not just your physical but your spiritual recovery… Be strong in the Lord and power of his might…
December 6, 2007 at 9:25 am
Hi Megan, I’m so glad there is finally a way to reach you. Your story has touched me in so many ways. I cried for a couple of days after I read about what happened to you. And I wanted to let you know that you aren’t alone out here. I am a kidknapping and rape survivor also and I think that is why I cried so much for you. My prayers are with you and always will be. I pray that the people who hurt you face the worst possible punishment. But I know from my experience that whatever punishment they receive will not erase those images and emotional pain of what they did to you. So I pray for your peace and serenity. I pray that the full armor of God protect you and keep you safe, mentally and physically. And while life will go on, there will be a time when all the media attention has died down, but you will still be dealing with the emotinal aspects of what you’ve survived. Just know that God is with you, you are abundantly blessed and highly favored. No matter what the circumstances were before this happened, no matter the things you’ve done previously you are not proud of. God has forgiven you and you are His and will be His always. God was with you that week, He was with you that day. Even if it may have seemed at the time like he wasn’t He was there protecting you. Just think about everything they did to you, then think about all of the other horrendous things they could have done. God may not come when you want Him to but He always comes on time. You may wonder why He allowed those things to happen to you in the first place. It’s simply because he wanted to use you to minister and be a testimony to other young women out there who have endured such things. Everything happens for a reason and according to God’s will sweetie. The devil meant it for bad but God has turned this thing around to make it for your good. Now you have the opportunity to change the lives of so many women in the world and show them that they cannot let their abusers and rapists steal their joy. Even though they hurt them they have no hold over their lives. That they can get beyond that hurt and get back to normal lives. And give them hope that their lives can be even better than before because they can be an example, a living testimony and give another young woman some love and support. I wish you all the best Megan, I don’t know you personally but have love for you and will continue to pray for your strength and serenity. There will be hard times as this situation is not over for you and it won’t be for a very long time. But stay positive, and focused and everything else will fall into place. If ever you want to or need another word of encouragement you can e-mail me at pixie_chic_83@yahoo.com.
December 8, 2007 at 11:04 pm
Megan,
The pain and humiliation you went through can never be undone.. even though it should have NEVER been done!
But your ordeal has brought attention to the hidden dark unacknowledged problem that our country and world suffer from…
I can not tell you enough, if anything at all, that will give you comfort… Just know that I pray for you, for your healing of mind and heart…
and I will try my hardest to NOT let your crimes be swept under the rug… This is all I can do…
stay safe friend…

megan i read about that terrible event that you were forced to deal with and i want you to know that you are a very beautiful young lady inside and out! dont let these evil people destroy what God has created. You are very strong for coming out and speaking about it and hopefully your voice will be heard by other young women and they too will realize we live in a very evil world but there is still only one man who is in charge of our lives and that is JESUS and he turned something BAD into something GOOD. GOD bless you and your family sweetie and i want you to know in time all your wounds will heal
December 13, 2007 at 2:01 pm
Very dear Megan,
Today it is Thursday, December 12, 2007, and this is the first that I have heard of you. Your attorney spoke on National Public Radio. Since, I have gained more knowledge, and have cried many tears. I am in disbelief. Haven’t we learned anything? This story deserves national attention. It truly transcends all nationalities.
I am involved with http://www.runforcongowomen.org. and organize a walk/run in the winter/spring months. This year, we are having our run/walk in Frederick, Maryland on March 8th which is International Women’s Day. We raise money and sponsorships for ‘Women for Women International’ to benefit the women in Congo who have been victims of the internal war. Please consider joining us for the walk/run. We would love to have you as our guest. We would love to have your voice.
You will be in my thoughts, and God bless.

December 18, 2007 at 2:07 pm
I think of your story all the time. I can’t imagine what you went through, what you are going through now. Healing from this is the greatest victory your life has to offer; reach out and take it. Stay strong, Megan.
December 19, 2007 at 12:03 pm
Williams family, I’ve placed you in my prayers. May you have the strength and determination to recover physically, and leave no stone unturned to pursue legal gratification.
I only say this because suing the city, the county, the schools that educated such animals, the social service that provided welfare to support them for years, the state and possibly this country – for failure to protect your civil and human rights – is the only language understood in this land – the only way that this kind of behavior might be eliminated.
I’m certain that whites have exercised similar hate crimes against blacks before – where else could these hillbillies have gotten the idea? At some point however, we (all decent people) must begin to utilize the law in a manner that will end the -isms (racism, sexism, etc).
While I pray that Megan will eventually accept that all people aren’t demons, I truly hope that the family pursues the legal maximum for the fear that she will no doubt always have of white men and women.
December 19, 2007 at 12:40 pm
Megan, I already posted something for you but I wrote this the other day reflecting on your situation:
Megan Williams victim of a hate crime
Reading the details made me lose my mind
Lost sleep couldn’t stop the crazy thoughts
About all of the battles you fought
Outnumbered by 5 and struggling to survive
You took a lot of punishment but came out alive
Strength isn’t always visible muscle on the exterior
You have a lot of heart even through the pain strengthened you interior
Don’t let anyone ever make you feel inferior
A victor in the battle you came out superior
Words can’t be found to describe how horrible events became
It’s pathetic that after this things still remain the same
This should have been front page across the whole nation
But the U.S. continues to support bad racial relations
It’s a sad matter to report that a murder in the burbs is front page
And at the same time reporters are sitting back letting your story fade
Life is fragile and you saw it flash right in front of your face
But this story isn’t told to all just because of your race
Three murders in a bad part of town aren’t even reported
But in a high profile case every detail is sorted
Justice for all in this country is just a say of words
We are clipped and trying to move but just like birds
Standing in place and looking at the same faces
It’s funny how they don’t compose different races
Our own language traps people who aren’t white
We are the light, holy, gracious, right
Dark is associated negatively for unknown reason
Archangels, devils, a bad time of day or bad season
Megan Williams went to go to a party and was left for death
The one who left her didn’t care a bit about her last breath
She didn’t deserve all of that because of the color of her skin
While it wasn’t a loss of life there’s no way it could be a win
The way we treat people different and expect them to act
Falling into categories and keeping all stereotypes intact
We are so determined to figure out what we are in society
I’m me regardless of my own race or others not buying me
Who needs censorship when people are scared to paint a real picture
Society is scared of individualism and doesn’t need a sifter
Who’s real, gonna stand out amongst the crowd
Everyone is faking it just trying to be down
Stop pretending like it’s all good and all hate has been erased
It doesn’t matter if you are the first to try to stop you’ll always be in last place
Tell Megan that what happened to her wasn’t real that it was a coincidence
I’ll leave the church with my head up waiting for all of you to repent
I hope you are getting better, you are not forgotten about.
Tim

Megan, Understanding that you were given a laptop computer by Montel Williams, I’m sure you have now read all of the wonderful messages of love sent to you through the internet.
My prayer for you is your continued healing and I want you to know that God has a major purpose for your life. People all over the world support you and care for you deeply. Merry Christmas Megan.
The best is yet to come.
December 25, 2007 at 6:48 pm
Dear Megan,
I am not going to pretend that I even remotely understand what you must be going through. When I heard of the events that took place I was and still am horrified. All that I can say is that I mourn with you as you heal from the events that took place. As the Bible says in Romans 12:1515 “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” Please know that you have not been forgotten and that I mourn with you now, I cry out for justice on your behalf, and I pray for the day when you will be able to say that you have fully healed inside and out from these events, and on that day, and please know that that day will come, I will rejoice with you. My prayers are with you. Please know that your are loved more than you could ever imagine by your heavenly father, and i know that he longs to heal the wounds that you recieved, I also know that he weeps over you as you weep. Never give up Megan!
In Him,
Emilia

January 7, 2008 at 8:45 pm
First May God bless and keep you strong. How grateful I am that you continue to keep the light shining on this situation until justice is served. Everyday we are bombarded with mind numbing stories of what overprivledged, ungrateful “stars” are doing and how they are getting away with breaking the law. Thankfully we are in a brand new season and a brand new beginning. Those who thirst for justice and righteousness will be staisfied my Lord and Saviour will see to that. Ms. Megan keep ya head up girl, cuzz THAT is where your salvation comes from. The God of Heaven and earth shall redeem you. May He continue to shine His face upon you and your family, and know that His grace is sufficent enough. You are shaping the lives of so many. Never forget that. Stay righteous young queen!

May light and love walk with you now forever.
God/Goddess bless you, and may you always walk in the light.
January 22, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Dear Megan,
I cant really find words to express what I feel. And its not because I’m not that good at english, even in french I’m not able to put words on how i feel right now.
Im really sorry that you have to live that..I’m more than sorry.
Im horrified that a human can do that….I’m more than horrified
Im angry to against them..maybe is that I hate them. Even hating is a wrong thing.
All I know is that you and your fammily are in my prayers,
may God keep you strong, and I’m pretty sure you are.
Bless you lady, I hope you’re getting better,
wish you best.
Tres sincerement,

I have only just heard about you Megan,( i live in the UK) and I am still in shock 2 days later. I cant believe i didnt hear about this in the news? These people are dispicable, and humanely the lowest of low. I can only imagine what you went through…but our Father God was with you, that is why you are still with us…to let the world know about what happened to you, so that justice may be done. I am so sorry Megan. I hope you do find peace and a way to shake off this terrible experience and strive foward, sucessfully, positively and more importantly…with love in your heart. You are in my thoughts and prayers. xxx
February 6, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Oh my God dear Megan. Strength and healing to you. What a horrible thing to endure. Hold you head high and speak your truth. These perpetrators can’t touch the light within you. Let it shine as an example of true humanity.
February 7, 2008 at 10:21 am
Hey megan, we saw you on montel today, it just made me cry to think about all that you went through.. You are such a strong young lady…We will keep you in our prayers. stay strong

Dear Megan,
I heard about your story today when I went home on my lunch break. I saw you on the Montel Williams show with your mother. I am outraged that there are such horrible people in this world that could do things like this to another HUMAN BEING! I am so sorry that this happend to you. I admire you for your strength in coming forward and telling your story to the world. You are a brave young woman. You will be in my prayers honey, and I know you have a long recovery to go but you will make it through this! We do not always understand why things happen to us. I do believe that the Lord has a plan and you just have to have faith and believe that. You take care Megan. Good things will come from this, and God willing those MONSTERS will get what they deserve.
February 7, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Megan; How can I tell you how much I hurt for you and how sorry I am that you went through this horrific time. My husband is a full time student at Oregon State University, he’s an Ethnic Studies major and social justice is his main concern. I have sent your story to him and others that will get behind you and your family and make others aware that this type of outrage still exists in this country. God is your biggest and best strength now and always, let Him guide you. Take your life and make great things out of it for yourselves and others. Speak up for those that can’t, the ones that we don’t even know about because before today, I never knew of you and now there will be several that will speak up for you. Jesus loves you and so do I. Give your mom hugs and tell her you love her every day and pray together…In His name…

I am so sorry that this happened to you. I admire you for your strength in coming forward and telling your story to the world. You are a brave young woman.
February 8, 2008 at 10:08 am
Hey Megan. This is Katie from Chicago. And I just want to say that you’re my hero. Everything that you went and made it through is an eye-opener for me. It made me realize that things like this do still happen. And in my eyes, you’re not a victim…you’re a survivor. God loves you and just like He blessed you to come out of that situation, He’s going to bless you for the rest of your life. You are a strong young woman. And you will never be forgotten.
February 8, 2008 at 11:57 am
Ms. Williams’ tortures should carry equal punishment for all of the people involved. If any one of them is any less guilty, he or she would have put a stop to it, or called the police before it went that far. All 6 should be in prisoned for life.

Today I came across articles about what happened to you. It breaks my heart to learn of your story. I know you are a strong person, and remain that way, Megan. I wish I could give you a big hug and hold you forever. You are an inspiration, a miracle, a fighter, a survivor.
March 4, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Megan, I hope nothing but the best for you. It is a terrible disgrace against the entire human race that people do this kind of thing to other people. You are a beautiful person, and I too wish that these offenders get life in prison. There is no reason to feel otherwise. You are a bright young woman, good luck in everything you do. We are watching and supporting!
March 5, 2008 at 5:33 am
Hello Megan I am so proud of you for standing up and being the special beautiful girl you are. Hang in there and stay sweet and brave. God Bless you and I will keep you in my prayers. Mamie
March 5, 2008 at 6:13 am
we are sorry for what happen to you you are beyond strong and you symbolize strength and you will always be in our prayers
March 7, 2008 at 7:18 am
I pray strength for you. God doesn’t put anymore on us than we can bare. If he brings you to it remember he WILL bring you through it……
Also, what don’t kill you, will ONLY make you stronger. You just continue to be strong and keep your head up. God has all power in HIS hands. Trust and believe.
Much love!!!!

Megan,
You are a Beautiful young woman! You are very strong to have gone through what you have. I hope and pray people around the country do no think all West Virginians are like the “animals” that did those horrible things to you. They are heartless, soul-less animals and if they don’t get punished in this life, They will one day. Hold on and be strong. You are an inspiration to all crime victims everywhere. God has a purpose for you!
March 8, 2008 at 3:15 pm
All my deepest thoughts for this horrible crime that happened to you.
Theses people are evil and deserved to be punished for what they did to you.
I just hope you will be able to keep the faith in a part of mankind.
I wish you the best life ever!!!
March 13, 2008 at 8:32 am
Thank God you are alive Megan you are in my hearts and prayers and continue to put GOD first through this sad and uncauseful tradgey but through god he will make life for you better and punish those that harmed u I wish u all the best in life!!!
March 13, 2008 at 11:52 am
Megan,
I just wanted you to know the ordeal you went through makes me so sick. I am sorry for the pain these horrible inhumane people caused you and have thought about you on numerous occasions. I hope you can rise above this and get on with the wonderful life God intended for you. You are here for a reason and never forget that. My prayers are with you!
March 13, 2008 at 2:32 pm
You are not alone. There are others who’ve gone threw similar experiences. I should know, I am one of them. You will soon realize you are stronger, wiser, and unbreakable. Never, ever, think that you caused any of this to happen. You are now a soldier. A pearl in this rough sea. Never let them have any part of you. Not you mind, your soul, not a single ounce of emotion. You are even more beautiful than you can ever imagine. Be strong my sister. May God always hold your hand.
March 14, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Dear Megan,
Frist i just want to say thank god you survived to tell your story! I have been attacked before so i kinda know how you fell on that side but on another note I cant even begin to imagine the things you went through. You are a true survior and a beautiful woman. May god bless you along the rest of the way through your life and your journey to putting the pieces of your life back together that were tooken from you. This story really touched me and i cant believe this happen to you! My blessings are with you and your family and you will always be in my prayers!
March 25, 2008 at 4:15 am
Dear Megan,
I read your story from Jet magazine. I would like to say that you are an incredible woman to share your story with the world, after all you have been through. My parents raised my brother and
I not to judge people for the color of their skin and that’s what I believe in today. When I hear stories such as yours I realize the hatred in some peoples heart. I don’t understand how someone could live with themselves after doing something like that. Anyway enough of that, I just pray that you and your family have or will overcome your horrendous attack. You and your family will be in my prayers and God bless the healing process.
Sincerly,
Bria

HI ! WE HAVE THE SAME NAME!
April 30, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Megan,
God is with you. You wrestled both day and night. You are a survivor and God had His hand on you even in the midst of what you were subjected to. He has His hand on you even now. Oh what a testimony you will have for the nations! You are a walking miracle. Can’t you see that not many would have survived? Mentally they would have died… physically? They would have died a wretched death, but you Megan, you are more than a survivor! Many POWs would have broken under the pain, the degredation, and the pressures… but you, as you are doing now, held onto faith and the belief that you would come out of your hellish experience alive.
Speak to the nations Megan. You have a voice and your trial has given way to your platform. Use it to shout out to the nations that you are a product of God’s mercy and grace, as it is sufficient and everlasting.
Many blessings Megan. I love you and I pray for wholeness and total restoration in mind, body, and spirit for you and your family.

Dear Megan and family, I read the story about you last year and was horrified. I never forgot your name or you. I really don’t know what to say right now. I hope to write you again and the words will be here for me to express to you at that time. I am to praying for you and your family. To Mrs. Carmen Williams, Thanks for bring your daughters story to the light of day and letting the world know what happened to your daughter. I hope the love, help, and support will continue to flow in to you, and Megan. It reminds me of a similar story about Emitt Till, and how Mrs. Mammie Till Mobley did the same in letting the world know what happened to Emitt. Stay strong, continue to heal. Praying for you: Mr. Rinaldo E. Marion!!!

Dear Megan,
My heart continues to ache for you and your family. I thank God that you survived the horror that those monsters put you through. Please know that my children (6 yr. old twins and a 4 yr.old) and I have been faithfully praying for you EACH night. We all want you to be able to come out of this nightmare knowing what a blessing you are and how incredibly strong and wonderful you are! My husband and I pray that you have been feeling Christ’s unfailing love and strength as you continue to heal emotionally and physically.
Although we’ll most likely never get to meet you Megan, believe me when I say that we love you and will continue to keep you in our prayers. God bless you and know that there are many people who have NOT forgotten about what happened to you and who continue to be outraged, fighting for justice.
Love and blessings,
The Ranck Family

Megan:
I am just learning of your horrible ordeal today. I know God was with you and brought you through this terrible tragedy. The things those evil people did to you are absolutely unthinkable. But pray for them that God will show mercy. You are a very brave young woman and blessed to be alive today. Thank you for sharing your story. Can’t imagine surviving anything like this. I will pray for you and you know that vengence belongs to the Lord. I watched your clip from the Montel Williams show and you really do not seem angry or bitter and that shows you are an immensely strong woman. May you be blessed all the rest of your days.
June 7, 2008 at 9:14 am

You story was so touching to me. I started off doing a paper on hate crimes about gays and then i stubbled across your name. You story has inspired me to do something about hate crime, and not to just write a paper. I’m going to inform my class about you. I’m the only black in my class and i want everyone to be informed about what’s still going on today. And that hate isn’t dead and we must do something about. So thanks so much for touching me and my families lives and opening our eyes to what’s really going on in the world. But you are a brave girl and a true survivor, my prayers go out to your and your family.
July 1, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Hi, Megan, I just read about your story for the first time and am very sorry, but not surprised by the media hype of it all. As I worked in the media and seen them picking through what stories they thought were news worthy. I’m sorry! I also feel that the other five should have been prosecuted as Hate Crimes.
Lots of Love Kimberly:)

Megan,
Please know that you are in my prayers. I can’t begin to imagine the horror you endured. I wish I could reach through my computer screen and give you a big hug. You’ve been through so much that is just beyond comprehension and it saddens me greatly that anybody would put another human through all that you had to endure. I will pray that you stay strong and that God and your family and friends will surround you with the love you so need and deserve to guide you through all this. You and my daughter share the name Megan (hers is spelled Meghan) and one of the reasons I was so drawn to that name is because it means “strong”. I know you’ve been very strong throughout all of this and pray that your strength sustains you and never wavers. It took a lot of courage for you to appear on the Montel show and I applaud you. I just know that you are going to pull through this.
Love and prayers,
Monica (and Meghan–sending you many hugs and large doses of strength)
July 17, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Continue to stay strong. Know that people are praying for you and your family.
July 17, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Dear Megan,
Words can not express how much I feel for you and what you went through. I pray for YOU and your family and I hope those sick people that are a disgrace to the human race that commited those horrific crimes be put away for life and may their hell be 100times greater in torture than you ever endured.
I can’t imagine how you may be feeling and I dont think it will ever go away, only easier to push those thoughts the side to be able to get on with your day. I can only speak for myself and I can tell you that I’m one white person that does not have a racist bone in my body and can only hope that you know that not everyone with white skin is evil. Those people are EVIL and should pay deeply for what they have done to you. Not because they are white racist pigs but because they are evil pieces of scum and do not deserve to have life. I believe in due time they will pay deeply for what they have done.
Stay strong and know that you have many people thinking about you.
With love,
July 17, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Unite as people! why do we always divide by our race? How is that going to help put a stop to racism!!
Why have a “black” march or “white” march? Why can’t we march together as one to fight racism?!
If you keep the races divided; things will never change. Yeah there will always be the outkast but we need to start somewhere… we need to educate and break the barrier.
My heart goes out to you sweetie.

I hope that you have a speedy recovery and that you never get hurt again, I am so glad you got rescued and these people are mean that hurt you and they will pay for what they did to you ,God bless you
July 29, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Tell your mother hello. My sister speaks of you quite often in a good way. She told me about you. You did not deserve this cruel treatment.
July 31, 2008 at 10:36 am
Megan -
Don’t ever give up hope! You are in my thoughts. Knowing what has happened to you makes me feel sick, yet still I believe that our nation and our world can and will learn from the terrible things you suffered.
I don’t know you, but I love you.
August 1, 2008 at 9:36 am
Megan-
When my friends and I heard about what happened to you, we felt sick to our stomaches. I still do not understand why people think that just because of the colour of your skin you are not as good as them. You are such a strong girl. No one should have to go through what you did, Ever. I hope those people get what they deserve in Jail and that you continue with your life plans and goals. my friends and I are praying for you and hope that you succeed in life, and eventually put this past you. Even though we don’t know eachother hearing this still hurt alot of people inside. It hurt us to know that there are still people out there like that, and that we cant do anything to stop them. I know that one day this will all stop and there will be no more racial crimes. I am so glad you are ok. Please don’t forget that not all people are liek that. Just the lesser of us.
August 3, 2008 at 12:46 am
Hello sweetheart, you’ve endured some of the horrifying things. When I read your story in the paper. I wanted to buy a ticket, along with my brothers and meet these people and get medievil. I am extremely angry as to the disrespect of a beautiful young black woman. Knowing that two wrongs don’t make a right. God is going to deal with them sweetheart. You can e-mail me anytime and talk, at maximus31k@yahoo.com. You have a very strong mom whose going to help you through this ordeal. It’s going to take time to heal. I’ve been close to there. Trust takes time, stay strong and God bless!!!
Your new friend

Megan..when I hear your story it sends chills through my soul. Like you I am a survivor and please know that it is a daily struggle and you will never truly get over it. You have to accept it and try to use your pain to your advantage. You have already had such an impact…you give me strength. Never give up the fight to love yourself regardless of the things that have taken place in your life. I will forever stand with you against these sort of atrocities and together we can take it one day at a time. Time does help but it does not erase what happened. You were a queen before this happened…work on regainging your Queen-dom!
September 12, 2008 at 1:32 pm
I am so sorry these horibble ,unspeakable things happened to you!!!!!!!! God Bless you and your loved ones . On a personal note hold on to Gods unchanging hand please know he alwys there for you and loves you soooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 15, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Megan,
I am in shock after reading this, I am not one to be sitting home and watching the news however I came across this because I was given the choice of any topic to write about for my final paper for criminal justice. As we all know google is an amazing thing…so I searched hate crimes and after browsing for awhile I came upon yours…and can’t believe it. No person deserves this, I am from a small town and this stuff just doesnt happen up here, and if it were to this is beyond what we could imagine!! I would be honored to write about your story, although I can’t say I am a proffesional..lol I* can atleast help spread the word about this rediculous crime and our governments lack of caring. I truely hope things are better for you and I hope you your perpetraitors get what they deserve..<33 kari
September 27, 2008 at 9:42 am
Megan God was with you during your ordeal with those horrible people. This was a hate crime. I am white but my heart goes out to you. NO ONE deserves to be treated the way you were (except maybe them). I can’t imagine the horror. All I can say is you are a strong lady to have lived through that. I agree they should have got life but we know there is not much justice in our fine nation. They used the N word saying that was why they were torturing you. They are beyond what white people call white trash , they are scum of the earth. They may not pay what they should on earth but there is a hell.
September 29, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Megan, I’m from WV origionally. This week is the first I’ve heard of your ordeal. I am horrified about how you were treated, and amazed how strong you are. You are in my prayers!!!!
Keep being strong!
September 30, 2008 at 5:48 pm

I just wanted to say God Bless You Megan, and i am glad you were so strong to have these animals locked up. You dont know me, but i know your story and i have 3 older sisters, but i feel for you. Nobody should have gone thru what you have..nobody!..Too bad our justice system wasn’t based on “an eye for an eye” because i hope those pigs rot in hell. No words can describe how angry and emotional i am towards this story. But my anger quickly turns to support for you. I hope your doing well Megan, i really do, and we’re all glad you were strong and stayed with us—-Much Love to you and yours…..God Bless………Joe
May 11, 2009 at 12:53 pm

Mégane,
L’épreuve que tu traverses au délà de la douleur que tu peux ressentir dans ton âme et et dans ton corps te rend aujourd’hui supérieure à tes bourreaux. Un dicton déclare que ce qui ne te tue pas te rends plus fort, et c’est ton cas aujourd’hui, car tu es à l’image de Jesus qui a triomphé de la mort et est revenu à la vie. Ce que je te demande, par dessus tout c’est de comdamner ces êtres démoniaque à la justice Divine par ton pardon. Lorsque tu y arriveras, la justice de l’Eternel, la plus redoutable de toute, et la plus implacable frappera; et tu verras ce que le Créateur de l’Univers réserve à ceux qui s’attaque à ses enfants chéris. Depuis l’Afrique centrale au Cameroun, je te souhaite la paix du coeur, et de l’esprit; et que la grâce de Dieu surabonde dans ta vie et dans ta famille. Du courage, du courage…
