Last Statement:

Sir, Ma’am, I am so sorry, I ask that you please, please don’t hate me and that you can find it in your heart to forgive me for the part that I played in what happened to her. Ms. Crane was a lovely woman, I never meant anything bad to happen to her. I am so sorry, I am so, so sorry, but I feel asleep and I don’t know what happened. Please forgive me, please, if not for me for yourself. Because the Father said if we don’t forgive those who wrong us, He will not forgive us. And I know that you are angry, I know you’re angry and I’m sorry, I’m not happy about what happened. I’ve hurt your family; I’ve hurt my family. And I wish I could take it all back. With all my heart I wish I could take it back. My sister has to live without me now, to become a victim. I had no right to even get in that car, but I will take the blame, I will take the blame if it will help. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, sorry, please forgive me please don’t hate me. Please find it in your heart to forgive me, for I know Jesus loves you like He love me. He loves us all; He wants us all to turn to him, to surrender our lives. I surrendered my life to him, my Father God. I have changed my life; I just ask that you please don’t hate me. Please sir, please, please forgive me. Sis, I love you man, please surrender your life to God and change. Please find you a good church, surrender your life to God and live for God. That is the only way, we don’t have to follow the church for Jesus said follow me. Pick up your cross and follow him like I did. I had at least ten years of following God, and then a good three years of surrendering. I surrendered my life to God, but I’m here now because this is the will of God, and I’m going home to be with Jesus. I will see you on the other side. Glory be the God; all praises be to my Father God. I’m ready Warden.
