This post has answered a suspicion I've had since I did paperwork (obtained written permissions) required to place an attendant in the home to care for Kathi. Mark was insistent on having the attendant more days than Kathi thought was necessary. Kathi on more than one occasion made a feeble attempt to object but was ignored by Mark. I found other statements made here to be in line with what I observed in the home that day. Mark picked Kathi up & sat her on the sofa, etc. I later heard the stories of Mark being seen with a blonde in his red sports car who later was his new wife and then their new baby boy, Ethan. As a Christian, conservative nurse, this crushed me for Kathi but I've been haunted by Regina & Chris. I live in the same neighborhood as the Davis family & often ate at the same restaurants and remember seeing Kathi with Regina on her lap in the wheelchair and Chris & Mark. So many questions that only God knows the answers to. I do pray Regina & Chris are ok. Their lives were touched by tragedies at such young ages.. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.1 * Origin: Prison Board BBS Mesquite Tx //telnet.RDFIG.NET www. (1:124/5013) .
