I am a 69 year old woman who had three grown children. My youngest son, Troy Evan Patton was murdered by his abusive wife on January 28, 2006. A very dear friend added my son to the Find A Grave Site and I since then have sponsored it.

While visiting here one day I saw that there were 5 requests for photos from Laurel Hill Cemetery where my son is buried. My husband of 19 years and I searched the cemetery and found two of them. We have three to go and will continue to look for those.

With me, as I'm sure it is with others...I want my son's memory to live on and I want people to know his story. As grieving parents, we find it impossible to let go and will do anything possible to hold on to each and every memory we have of our child.

My daughter's little girl was only 6 months old when her Uncle Troy was murdered, but by her seeing the pictures of him that sit out at everyone's home and the funny stories we tell of him, she speaks of him just as if she knew him. That's what I want. I want everyone to feel like they knew my son.
