The loss of a loved one brings grief and pain. For the homicide survivor, the normal anger of grief is compounded by the rage and desire to violently destroy the murderer of the loved one.
MVFR members know how isolating an experience it is to have someone you love taken from you by the conscious violence of another human being. We know the pain of a funeral parlor and the emptiness of the graveyard.

A Long Journey Home takes you into the world of heartache, but there is a group of people who have lost a loved one to murder and yet speak out against more violence. Sham Sheppard spent all his life trying to prove his fathers innocence. Dr Sam Sheppard was accused of killing his wife, the movie The Fugitive was based on that story.

Read the many stories and about the Journey Of Hope that takes place every year in a different state and decide for yourself if more killing and violence is the answer.

Some of the stories that are included are: Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking, Bill Pelkie, founder of MVFR, Bud Welch who lost his daughter in the Oklahoma Bombing. Order your copy today.

We know about crime scenes and autopsies, investigations and indictments, trials and sentencing. We know the grief, the bewilderment, the anger, and the real sense of separation from others in society who have not experienced such a loss.

We also know what it’s like to have a date of death set for our loved ones, many times on our birthdays, and some of us know what it’s like to have our loved one placed in the electric chair and fried from the inside out. We know what it’s like to lose a son in prison, and we experience the same pain, hurt, and anger, that the mother feels who loses their child on the streets. We are all victims of our society.

The Long Journey Home is a book about MVFR members and the Journey of Hope as they travel through cities and towns in the US each year. The loss of a loved one brings grief and pain. For the homicide survivor, the normal anger of grief is compounded by the rage and desire to violently destroy the murderer of the loved one.

The members of Murder Victims’ Families For Reconciliation speak out against more violence with the death penalty. They say, not in their names. Marietta Yeager, whose seven-year-old daughter was killed says, “There is no amount of retaliatory deaths that will compensate us for loss of our loved one. And in fact to say that the retaliatory death of one person by execution is going to be just retribution really insults the immeasurable value of our loved one’s life.

Sam Reese Sheppard spent all his life trying to prove his father’s innocence, after he was convicted of killing his mother. Dr. Sam Sheppard was the case that The Fugitive movie was based on. Sue Norton’s parents were killed, George White’s wife was murdered, he was found guilty of the crime and sent to prison, only to be released later after evidence was found to prove his innocence and Bill Pelke’s grandmother was stabbed thirty three times by fifteen year old Paula Cooper, and he fought for her life and to get her off death row.

. Bud Welch’s daughter was killed at the Oklahoma bombing, Aba Gayle’s daughter was shot to death, SueZann Bosler was stabbed many times in the head, and she watched as the intruder stabbed her father to death, and Trevor Dicks’s brother was killed by medical neglect. And yet all of these people forgive the person who murdered their loved ones and all believe that love and compassion and forgiveness is the answer to stopping the violence in America today.

Sonny Jacobs spent seventeen years on death row and found to be innocent after her childhood friend, Micki Dickoff researched the trial transcripts and found the evidence that would prove her innocence.

Read the many stories and the Journey of Hope that takes place each year in a different state and decide for yourself if more violence and killing is the answer. Do we have the right to kill our own citizens in the electric chair? The power of God’s love is evident in each of these stories.
