I lost a friend because her ex boy friend walked through a restraining order, stabbed her and kidnapper their child. He had tried to drug her last time they saw each other. She had moved several times to protect herself when a court notice gave him her current address. He had threatened her life several times. We lost an incredible women, a mother, a daughter, a sister, and a friend. Let us say no more to needless death. For Teri Chase Morris
