3. In Memory of Joyce Nelson
8/3/24 – 7/7/85
Twenty-eight years have passed since the violent
murder of my mother. I remember the phone call from
Patty’s cousin telling me that my mom had been
murdered. Now the phone rings again and my daughter
tells my wife that Richard Ramirez died a natural death
caused by his own actions. He has died of Hepatitis.
Dirty needles for drugs and a disregard for other
potential health issues have succeeded in doing what
the State of California was unable to do in almost
twenty-four years on death row.
Patty and I looked at each other as a wave of emotions
ran through both of us. Tears were abundant. These
were not tears for Ramirez but tears that came from all
of the memories that we had lived with for the last
twenty-eight years. People try to convince us that we will
find closure but how can my family find closure when my
mom cannot be with us. Instead of closure we have
talked openly to each other and to the people who ask
how we deal with my mom’s loss.
The first call was followed up with a series of text
messages, E mails, and phone calls. Many of our
friends called up to help us through the day. Most of
these people had also experienced the violent loss of a
loved one themselves. Having great friends really helped
us out on this day. Thank you for the calls of support and
prayers.
Now we live with the good memories of my mother. I can
still see her doing cart wheels on the front yard. Her
garden is full of bright colored flowers. My favorite
flowers were the Snap Dragons. Patty and I also
remember mom by working with people who have lost a
loved ones to violence.

"Richard Ramirez is dead!" It was the voice of a co-
worker, several cubicles behind me. "Richard Ramirez,
the night stalker, is dead!" I snapped out of the
spreadsheet I had been working on and opened
Facebook on my smartphone. I quickly flicked through the
newsfeed, knowing it would be a leading story if it were
true. I stopped it when I spotted a Los Angeles Times
story announcing, "Night Stalker Richard Ramirez is dead
at 53."
I knew there'd soon be a deluge of similar headlines
throughout the day but my thoughts quickly turned to my
dear grandmother, Joyce Nelson, who was one of his final
victims. I remembered how, a few months before she
would be killed, she took me out for lunch to celebrate my
15th birthday. The place was the North Woods Inn, a
favorite restaurant for me, at least until I became a
vegetarian and, later, a vegan.
After lunch my grandmother asked about the electric
guitar I had placed on lay-away and had been making
regular payments on with money earned on an early
morning paper route. I explained that, unfortunately, I
would need another couple of months before I'd have
earned enough cash to pay off the guitar. She asked if I'd
like to drive to the music shop to show her the guitar. It
just happened to be a short drive down the street. We
entered the store where I introduced her to my guitar
instructor, Anthony, or Tony Montana as it says on his
records. I told him we were here to visit my guitar so he
disappeared into the storeroom and soon returned with
the metallic-champagne hued Fender Stratocaster
electric guitar that I hoped would soon be mine.
After demonstrating on the guitar for grandma what I'd
been learning in my lessons I figured I'd return the guitar
to Anthony and we'd then be leaving. But before I knew it
my grandmother was at the front counter paying off the
remaining balance of my guitar. We took the guitar with
us!
That was one of the last times I saw her. Since she was
murdered there hasn't been a day that I haven't thought
about her. It's now been about 28 years since we lost her.
In the earlier years I wrestled with violent thoughts about
what I'd do to Ramirez if I had the opportunity. Over the
years my views have evolved considerably. I came to
recognize that those violent thoughts, if acted upon, would
place me in the camp of Violence and Death. I attribute
this transformation in my thinking to several things: my
conversion, eventually, to a vegan lifestyle, my study of
philosophy and history, which together have taught me
that we are all fallible and that violence has never been a
successful form of conflict resolution. I have also come to
understand the racism and classism that have so often
determined who is placed on Death Row and who is
spared. While there is no meaningful doubt about
Ramirez' guilt, I am in no position to pick and choose who
are the ones to die. No individual, or collective, should
have the power to kill another except in self-defense,
including the state. I have to admit though, it is a
considerable relief that he is gone.

4. In Memory of Joyce Nelson, cont…
"Night Stalker" Richard Ramirez has died of natural
causes after more than two decades on death row.” I
stared in disbelief at the news Facebook post
announcing this. Read this post a couple of times
hoping it was true but worried that for some reason it
was a misreport. After reading it for a second and third
time, first thought to hit me was “Fraking yes, the
monster is dead” and started to send text message to
my family members. After texting them started
searching other sites to confirm the news and started
seeing other reports showing up. Reading all of them I
started to feel a wave of emotions, mostly happiness,
sadness, relief and disappointment.
For 27 years 11 months I feared this person who
murdered my Grandmother, always waiting for the
justice system to finally carry out the final sentence,
sadly it wasn’t the justice system that made this fear go
away but nature and the passing of time. Hearing the
news I was a bit disappointed because I was hoping to
one day see him to “face him”, to face my fear.
Went and visited my Grandmother’s grave site in the
afternoon to be with her and tell her the news that her
murder is no longer on this earth. After visiting with her
getting back home started to celebrate with my brother,
sister, sister-in-law and friends since another part of this
saga our family has been in has been closed. As we
celebrated this day, the thought wasn’t far from my mind
was that no matter what it wouldn’t fully be closure,
closure for me will be when I get the chance to hug my
Grandmother again up in Heaven.
Going to be weird not having to worry about something
that I have worried about for so long, 27 years 11
months, over 4 times longer then I got with my
grandmother. June 8th 2013 will be a day that I start not
having to worry about this monster, since “The Monster
is DEAD”. Submitted by Tom Nelson
While vacationing with my family in San Diego I heard
the news that my grandma’s murderer, Richard Ramirez
was dead. This was a sudden and unexpected reminder
of how the pain and grief from suffering the loss of my
grandma 28 years ago to this horrific killer, is never far
from me. In fact, grief only becomes a sleeping monster,
tucked away inside and often awakened by a multitude
of triggers. Sometimes it is a photograph, a simple
memory, or even walking through a bookstore and
coming upon the true crime section and knowing there
are multiple books that recount the unimaginable horror
my grandma suffered in her last moments. But today,
the trigger is the news of her killer’s death. He died of
natural causes. Justice was not carried out by the state,
since he never had to pay the ultimate price for his
crimes and suffer the execution he was sentenced to in
1989. I testified against him in the penalty phase of his
trial. I stood only a few feet in front of this evil, menacing
man and asked Judge Michael Tynan to sentence him to
death. I summoned all the courage I had to stand up to
this murderer and share with him and the court how
loved my grandma was and how the lives of those who
loved her would never be the same. I like to think I got
my courage from my grandma. She had lived by herself
as a single mother for many years, raising two sons, and
working day after day to get by. She never complained,
she only dug in her heels and worked harder when
things got tough. She had style and grace, but was a
spitfire in a tiny 5 foot 2 body. While justice may not
have come full circle in this case, the fact that Ramirez
was never free to harm another person is enough.
Having asked for his death many years ago, I often
contemplated what the process of enduring the
proceedings to carry out an actual execution would have
inflicted upon me and my family. Focusing my energy
on his death soon became a burden to carry. My
grandma died too soon and was taken by this Satan
worshipping, blood thirsty killer, but her death was only a
few moments of her life. She lived for 60 years and I
was blessed to have had 14 of those years with her. I
made a promise to myself many years ago that I would
no longer allow her death to become bigger than her life.
So while Ramirez’s death woke that sleeping beast
within and caused many painful memories to resurface, I
recounted the many moments I shared with my
grandma. I thought of the beautiful flowers in her
garden, the sweet smell of gardenias from her back
porch, the mini golf and birthday shopping sprees. I
remembered the sound of her cough from years of
smoking and the taste of baked hams we enjoyed on
Christmas Eve. I read my brother’s Facebook post of
how she surprised him on his birthday and paid off his
guitar. I cried at having forgotten that story and thanked
my brother for reminding me again just how special our
grandma had been. While many family members
celebrated on this day, the day of this murderer’s death,
I couldn’t bring myself to do so. He caused a
tremendous amount of pain, but his death will surely not
put an end to it. I am relieved there will be no more
court proceedings, or Satanic babbling spewed from his
mouth, or stories of all the privileges he enjoyed while on
death row, but there is no happiness in his passing.
Only his suffering has ended and when this latest news
fades from the headlines, my grief will once again
subside and find its home deep within my soul, where it
will sleep until the next trigger wakes it once more.

We thought of you today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought of you yesterday
...And will tomorrow, too.
We think of you in silence
And make no outward show,
For what it meant to lose you
Only those who love you know.
Remembering you is easy
We do it everyday.
It's the heartache of losing you
That will never go away.

I wanted to let you know, we have entered into a
new partnership with a L.A. publication, Cuffed and
Wanted. They are publishing stories about
unsolved cases in the Los Angeles area.
Eventually, they hope to expand to outlying areas.
If you have members with unsolved L.A. crimes,
they need to get us a release form (available on our
website) and a good picture. A brief story about the
case; detectives to contact, rewards, etc.
Publications come out the 1st and the 15th of the
month. We need information by about the 10 days
prior to publication. They are located in Signal Hill
and I can easily run information over to them to
make sure that it is the right pixel for their paper.

CAMP GOOD GRIEF (SVP)
Camp Good Grief-Special Victims Program (SVP) is a joint effort between the San Bernardino County District Attorney's
Office Bureau of Victim Services and Loma Linda University Medical Center Children's Hospital. The 3-day grief camp is
geared toward homicide/suicide and is for children ages 10-16 who have experienced a violent death in their family.
Campers board a bus at the Ronald McDonald House in Loma Linda and head to Camp Cedar Falls in the San Bernardino
Mountains for a three-day camp and grief therapy experience.
At camp the children participate in game and team building activities and therapeutic group activities designed to help
them learn and understand how to cope with the grief over the violent death of their loved one. This camp has been so
successful that it has been expanded to include Camp Good Grief - Special Victims Program Teen Retreat. It will be held
annually and provides grief services for teens ages 14-18 who previously participated in Camp Good Grief - SVP and whose
lives have been positively impacted by camp. It will be a combination of learning advanced grief management skills as well
as a training camp for future Camp Good Grief Peer Counselors.
Camp is free of charge to all campers and camperships are funded by unclaimed victim restitution. Therapists and interns
from Loma Linda Marriage and Family Therapy Clinic, Loma Linda Child Life Specialists and District Attorney's Office Victim
Advocates donate their time to the camp.
The Bureau of Victim Services and Loma Linda University Children's Hospital have pledged to continue fundraising activities,
presentations to service groups, and outreach events so they may continue hosting future Camp Good Grief-SVP programs.
