Families dealing with the loss of a child

Glen Innes, Auckland

My son Matthew in the photo with his beautiful new baby girl.

Whom he loved and cherished in the short time he spent here.

My son who was severely and cruelly mistreated by the justice system has sadly passed away

He was horribly denied proper treatment for his depression and hurt.

His cries for help were clearly ignored and abused by mental health and the judicial

System.

He was spoken to coldly and abused by all government departments.

He is missed and loved sooooo much by myself and his younger siblings .

His daughter, my granddaughter has to now live without her daddy.

And I am left with the awful job of answering the question..."where is daddy"

I am finding it very hard to come to grips with my beautiful sons death.

I guess it is something I have to live with every second of the day.

I know there are some loving caring people in this world ...who have been through this also and know how I feel.

I'm absolutely devastated...forever.

Please can you help me with my babies funeral expenses and beautiful Maria rose's life without daddy.

WITH LOVE FOR

MATTHEW MARK EDWARD RAYMOND
