Yesterday was three months to the day since Sophie died, her murder sliced through my heart, and the hearts of all those who knew her, (and many who didn't)
I'm writing to ask if tomorrow, what would have been Sophie's 21st birthday, you would raise a glass and drink in memory of my beloved friend.
Sophie is gone, never to be replaced, and every day I miss her. We didn't speak much in the last few years, but I was still able to pick up the phone and call her.
I hope you will all continue fighting for the S.O.P.H.I.E. campaign, and that Sophie's memory, even those who didn't know her, will live forever, standing for what we all believe in and want, a peaceful, hate-free society.
Thank you all for reading this

I'm in that video walking next to Bob. I can't watch it though, Tom had too for me. It makes me cry. The lads who did it are typical around here though... the same gang bricked Tom and I about a week beforehand.

I've been sad... now i'm getting angry when I think they will probably get between 15 and 20 years, while they took away my friend forever...

Sorry Shins....I can't even begin to imagine what you've been through with this and I know it wouldn't help me get through it but each to their own...and I don't think I could quite express in words how sad I am for Sophie.
But I am very sorry

it's alright, it helps me knowing i'm spreading the word, and it's helping Soph's family too (spoke to them just last week, they told me to keep doing it)

Still think that if we'd heard, Soph would still be here It's not unusual, but the level of violence to me is genuinely shocking. Argh, that's awful but you can't be sure, maybe you'd all have got killed... *rubbing eyes here*

Rest In Peace Sophie.
It’s scant consolation I know, but no one can hurt your friend now Shin
Don’t be too hard on yourself either

It wouldn't help if someone took bloody vengeance on them, even if it might satisfy some. I imagine jail won't be too kind to them. Anyway, catch you folks later
