I think the Pitts Family should sue the Goolsby family for keeping a firearm in the home knowing that he was a convicted feoln. This wont bring back their mother but it will bring some justice and who may be the one to really blame.

Tammy Cody, I pray for you and the children, I wish I could talk to you if possible. There are over a 100 women a year killed or missing in the State of Georgia each year. I have discovered there are few if any laws to protect women here. I have myself contacted every agency availible to get help myself. It's a sad state of affairs when women and children are put at risk!

I hope with Gods help I can change this.

Tammy WOW you crossed a line...Telling a reporter that Roger was "verbally abusive" and like "Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde" is definitely SLANDER! If these comments persists his family will seek legal counsel!

Tammy, don't let #4 scare you. Who murdered whom? Get it all out baby.

#4.1.1 Melissa on 05/22/09 at 08:58 PM

#4 Why be so stern yet anonymous? Counsel? I'm sorry for any loss an individual suffers, but remember this family lost a mother which can not ever be replaced. Anger is justified, venting is helpful,and you loving Roger does not give you the right to take away their anger. You may have lost but they lost their mom, give them the right to be mad and DON'T futher their heartbreak with defending this action! What if it was you? think about prom, weddings, babies without your mom, they did not deserve this nor did Trish, so have respect for the innocent and quit talking about counsel! To the family, I don't know ya'll, but I know people who loved ya'll and I'm soooo sorry for your loss and I hope your mother's strength carrys down to you. DON'T BE ANONYMOUS IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY!!! Pike county let's do what we can to help these kids!

She may had four children. But there are three adults out of the four. And two of them are working. They have made lives for themselves in life. Only one is a minor child. And hopefully they can move forward. May God be with them.
