HEARTS HEAVY AS MOTHER'S DAY APPROACHES

Family, friends, and neighbors have not forgotten my mother, Cheryl Noel.
They still mourn the loss of such a wonderful person.

She was killed by the Baltimore County police in her bedroom on Jan. 21. My
brother and I are bent under the weight of terrible grief as this Mother's
Day approaches.

Those of you who knew her will never forget her, I know. Those of you who
didn't know her need to understand that she wasn't a criminal, she wasn't a
dangerous person, and that there was something dreadfully wrong with what
happened that morning.

The only meaningful Mother's Day gift my brother and I can give our mother
this year is our love and a chance to get justice. So please don't forget
her and continue to ask our elected officials for further investigation by
an impartial party.

The Baltimore County police have declared themselves justified in killing
her. There was no justice in what they did.
