Harkness Hill Farm

               The family of James and Molly Beatrice Webb would like to extend their profound gratitude to all the friends and neighbors and kind people of Crystal Springs for their overwhelming outpour of support in this time of grief and recent tragedy. It helped more than we can possibly express! Thank you!

            While we will be responding on an individual basis the number of cards and phone calls and emails we’ve received from the depth of your heart and outrage that this unfair and tragic occurrence in the heart of the Community as well as to our family,  it is a little overwhelming and we wanted you to know now, corporately, how much your concern and love has helped! And please be patient with us as we try to repeat our gratitude on a one to one basis as it so richly deserves! 

            Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of the two boys who admitted to doing the killing and we pray this will be a time for our Community to pull together and reunite stronger than we were before.

                                                                 The Webb and Crowley Families

       You black skinned, slant eyed bitch! Why don’t you go back to the Commie land where you were born? You and that rich bitch Cynthia think you can run the whole town because your white Daddy was rich and hers was a piece of no good white trash.....

            The petite woman quickly deleted the remainder of the hate filled message without even bothering to read the remainder of it. She’d heard it too often behind Beau’s back, even from men he’d considered his friends and from their boys in the school yard as they mimicked what they heard at home. It still hurt. More than it should have!
