From all accounts it seems today, this day two years ago is the actual day that Christine Sheddy disappeared.

Today is a day of reflection and mourning for those who knew and loved Christine and her family.  I spoke with Lynn and asked if she would like to make a statement for our readers, below is her response.

 

How do I begin…?

It has been two years since Christine Sheddy went missing from a Pocomoke City, Maryland farmhouse.  

There have been many ups and downs in our fight for justice for Christine. Thank you all for helping us keep Christine’s story alive. Without compassionate, caring, people like you, Christine’s story would have been swept under the carpet and long forgotten. 

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your support and willingness to help our family find the truth, seek justice, and most importantly….bring Christine home. 
Christine had her faults, as we all do. 

<>Christine made bad choices, as we all do.
However, Christine didn’t deserve to die.

Christine was a mother, daughter, grand daughter, and a friend too so many.  
 She was and is loved. 
 Christine was a mother first and foremost, she loved her children deeply, as a full time mother they were her life. 

To say she was a “sponge on society” because of her lack of work history, in my opinion, is a slap in the face to all stay at home moms.   Unless you have walked in her shoes, you wouldn’t understand.

I have made many new friends in the past 2 years.  Most have remained supportive. 

Unfortunately I did loose a friend.  I think about that person everyday, they became part of my family.  Not only do I mourn the loss of my daughter, I mourn the loss of my friend.  When this is over and we find Christine, I will call her personally and let her know.  I will never forget her.

In March we had a community search.   I will never forget driving up to the search site and seeing so many caring souls.  My heart swelled with gratitude at the outpouring of support for Christine.  I could never put into words what that was like.  I couldn’t do it justice.  There is a lot of good in the world. I saw it for myself on March 21, 2008.  I will never forget it. 

Unfortunately there is a lot of bad in the world.  I just didn’t have a clue as to how bad, bad really is.  

My husband says that I am blessed with the ability to be blissfully unaware. 

I have always tried to find the best in every one.  Christine shared this trait also. 
I just find it hard to believe that people can be so ugly. 

I still can’t wrap my mind around it. 
I am thankful that I don’t have the ability to hate so easily. 

I have been accused of planting evidence, lying, looking for pity, being an ingrate, looking for financial gain in the form of a book deal, movie deal, or a law suit. 
Nothing could be farther from the truth. 

The only thing I seek is my daughter’s remains being found and brought home.  

The people responsible for Christine’s death brought to justice and punished.  

I don’t think that is too much to ask for.

In closing, to all you wonderful, caring, compassionate people who have taken the time to keep us in your thoughts and prayers…….THANK YOU!!! 

This has been a long hard road. Thank you for standing next to us so we don’t have to go it alone. 

You are appreciated, more than you know.    

Forever Grateful

Lynn
