To the Mother of Ronald Stephen Piel:
I too have lost my son to suicide on July 27, 1997. He too was 30
years
old. His memorial is on this website also. His name is Billy Ray
Wheeler, Jr., and he was my pride and joy. I don't know what happened to
him other than he chose to leave us. Why I do not know. The pain was so
great. I don't know how I made it through the first year. It was so hard
and painful.
But, I know you know how I feel. Pray for me. I will pray for you and
your
family. I had to spend that first year by myself, and I will never know
how I survived. I was like a zombie, not knowing where I was, what I was
doing and crying all the time. I had to work and it was most terrible,
but most people can't deal with someone who has had a close member of
their family to commit suicide. It was the most terrible thing. I also
was alone in a state with no relatives. It was hard and is still hard
today because a day does not go by without my thoughts going to my son,
but it does get easier, not that you will forget for you will never, but
the pain does get a little easier and you can go on. I'm sorry to hear of
your loss, for I also feel your pain. God bless you and Ron and Billy
Ray.

Well it's Mother's Day son. I want to cancel today and ignore it but
everywhere I look the message is there. Mothers with their children
around them, flowers, messages of love. I'm just alone and empty thinking
of nothing but the fact that you're gone. It's been 6 weeks now and
sometimes it feels like an eternity since I got the news you were gone.
Other times it feels like it was just yesterday. This is the loneliest
day of my life. I wish I could have seen you one more time and held you
one more time. You have left such hurt, pain and emptiness son. God I
hope it was worth it for you because I never wanted you to be in so much
pain. I try to forget what I want and remember what is best for you, but
it's so hard. I love you Ron. Your Mom

To Ron's Mom.....I know your pain. I know your torment. My daughter was
27 yrs old. I lost her in l998. I don't think the world will go on
either, I know I cannot. But in our grief, we must be strong for our
children. For your Ron and my Tracy. I have just found this site and it
gives me some comfort, not feeling so alone. I am sending photos and
information on Tracy today, to be included in this space where we can
reach out and maybe somehow comfort each other. I pray that you can be
strong and I want you to pray for me and all of these others that have
lost children, for we are indeed a group that are alone. No other human
being can even try to imagine this pain, unless their child is gone. God
be with you and your family.......

Son, I was here with you on Sat and left flowers for you again, but you
didn't get those either. Maybe I left them at 1000 deaths. My mind is so
short circuited right now I really couldn't tell. Your death has left me
unable to function in anything I do. I drop things, almost get into
accidents driving, don't want to go anywhere or do anything. Fred bought
me a big pink bunny and I was taking it to bed with me so that I could
feel closer to you and feel that I was able to comfort you in your
emotional pain. I wish you would have sought help Ron. Why didn't you?
I guess I know the answer to that, but I was hoping that influence was not
that strong on you. I guess I was wrong. Peace be with you son.
Love
Mom
I came to be with you on Friday while they were having your memorial
service on Friday and left you flowers then, but I guess it didn't make it
here. Know that you were in my thoughts and my heart and always will be.
Love you much
Mom

Today they are burying you and this is supposed to mark an end to the
tragedy of your loss. For me, my pain still lingers at the loss of a son
I loved more than life itself. I know you would rather be scattered in
the wind from a mountain top, but we needed to make visiting you easier
for the sons you left behind. Someday, when they are old enough to
understand, we will scatter you and you will feel the freedom you have
always wanted.

Well they are having your memorial service in Horicon at this very
moment. Although I'm not there, know that my heart, spirit and soul are
there. I love you so very much.

Rest in gentle peace and maybe you will find my son, Sean, on the other
side, as I have found your loving mother on this side. Gently, Karen,
