I'm sorry Clint. I didn't know Lisa but only a year and I knew she was troubled and had a past but there was a time when she really wanted good things for herself but she never seemed to follow thru with getting better. I did feel that maybe she lied to me to protect herself somehow but I didn't question her and I'll admit, I didn't always like her as a person or agree with everything she said and did, but nobody is perfect, everyone is different and not everyone is cut from the same cloth or even cut out to be parents. I really personally don't think Lisa had enough going for her at the time to be a good parent and thank God she realized this and gave you custody. But her goodness was like I said genuine if she trusted you and that was rare for her. I've already posted above. She just wasn't capable to raise her son. The reasoning behind that is hers.

I sincerly hope that those are not the things you are portraying to him. She knew he would be better off with you and your mom. She didn't feel she could be a good mother. But she did love him and she always bragged to me and her dad every single time she spoke to us. She was hard to understand and she was guarded. But I know that she loved you as well. I've read her innermost thoughts and she did care. She wanted the best for Ethan and there were things that kept her away later on in her life. Things maybe your not aware of at all but she protected those she loved the last few years by making minimal contact. That bothered her but it was a very real threat. She wasn't perfect and none of us are. But she is dead and brutally murdered at that she could have never done anything bad enough to die that way. Maybe your anger could be a little bit of hurt because you care more than you want to admit. She did have a different outlook on life than some but she had some really good qualities as well. But please don't make Ethan feel like she didn't care for him. And her dad and I have wanted to get to know him for years but don't have information on you or your family. And you may not even want him to have that opportunity I don't know. But life is short I know this for sure. Feel free to email me at any time just to chat or anything if your interested battjanice@yahoo.com.

Lisa terminated her rights to her son...she did not have time for Ethan...she used to come to the house and visit...every 3 months...6 months...once a year, then she was gone. She didn't want someone to take care of her; someone she could be with forever...she wanted her own life. How do I know? I'm the father!

BTW..I forgot to add that Lisa was a beautiful person inside and out as long as you were true to her .She had gorgeous, long, thick brown/red hair when I knew her, beautiful big brown eyes and she was stunning. I hope in her last few years that she was happy and content..although she didn't often talk alot about it, she always hoped that she would find a man that she could find true love and happiness with. She did have a pretty smile and charming personality.. Lisa left a black sweater at my house years ago and I still have that sweater..in case are paths ever crossed again..I just never dreamed in a million years that this would happen to anyone let alone Lisa..Like I said I lost three frends in the past year who I cared about. One to H1NI Virus on September 4, 2009. Lisa, in August 2008, and another friend who sadly and we don't know why yet...committed suicide March 28, 2010.. Lisa's mother asked, "Why" What is this World coming to? I ask that same question, as I just found out about two of these friends in the past two to three days..RIP in peace my friends...God Bless...:)
~Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am in a thousand winds that
blow, I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening
grain. I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rush Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night. I am in the flowers that bloom, I am in a quiet room. I am in the
birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there. I do
not die.

I knew Lisa, and she was good person.She was guarded and it took awhile for you to get to know her..She confided in me that she had been hurt by alot of people and had several mistrust issues. I got to know her and liked her. I let her stay with me when she had no where to stay going thru some relationship issues and not really wanting to be alone. During this time we got to know and trust one another. She eventually moved on but we stayed friends for awhile until she moved out of town and I moved to a new home in a different town to enjoy the country life. I lost contact with her sometime around late Spring/ Early Summer 2005. I've often wondered what ever happened to her and there were only a few friends I had that really knew her. I ran into an old friend of ours in Tulsa this month and just learned of her untimely passing. Lisa loved her little boy and I know he must miss her terribly. My heart goes out to her family and friends who loved and chersihed her. She is missed and will be missed..I know she is in a better place now with our Lord and Savior.. Lisa was a spitfire and stubborn sometimes but those of us who really knew her understood why..With Lisa either she liked you or she didn't..if she did then it was genuine.. She was smart and no one could get anything over on her..If you treated her with respect that's what you got back.. I have lost three people in the past two years who I was close to and Lisa was definitely one of them..I always knew that if she got around to it she would get in touch somehow.. I never heard from her again.. She didn't know where I'd moved to..not did I know at that time where she ahd gone.. I sometimes had a strange feeling inside that something wasn't right when I'd wonder about her but I just put it in the back of my mind.. Now I know why..God Bless Her Soul.. She didn't deserve to die with such hatred and cruelty..RIP Lisa Marie Batt Spiegel..You will always be loved and missed...:)

I just wanted to say that Lisa is my daughter. She was beautiful and talented. She had a wonderful smile and an awesome personality. Everyone loved her even the shooter. She did not return those feelings. She leaves behind a family of me and her father, 5 brothers and one sister and most important her child a 10 year old young man who will not get to know his mother. I just want people out there who knew and loved her to never forget! Our whole family is traumatized over this. She was laying down in her own bed. What is this world coming to?
