Description
I have learned a few lessons since Kourt’s death. One, death is not negotiable. Once someone has entered the realm of death, they totally cross over, they are gone. That lesson has been the most difficult for me to accept. For the first time, I was unable to help Kourtney with a problem. There was no phone call I could make – nothing I could do for him. I felt like I had failed him. I was not there to protect him.
On the night of June 11, 2007, death took on a whole new meaning for Karen Lynne Duffie, a Michigan mother of three. That’s the night her twenty-two-year-old son, Kourtney, was murdered.
