	Ken Bradshaw Anchorage, Alaska	You have my deepest condolences in the loss of your little Benjamin. and I to feel your pain for your life distroyed by a system under the discuise of justice. Your story of how the system worked aganst you and your wife is a spitting image of what my Daughter has just gone through, the circumstances being not as tragic as the loss of your child th death but tergic enoff to distroy the lives of my daugher and my two young grandsons by her incarrceration with a 40 year sentence. The way you have of the events and how everything was played out in court is just as if it has been rehursed over and over again. My heart is with you and if you make any headway in getting your wife released please keep me posted on your tacticesso maybe I can use them for my Daughters release. God Bless you and give you stringth to carry on and Good luck.	9/8/2006 1:24:24

	Sammy Weygand Claremore	Just a P.S. If it helps any John, I am working on my own book "Tarnished Badges" that covers events in the same geographical areas.	2/7/2006 11:41:51 PM
	Sammy Weygand Claremore	Some of the same people mentioned in this are people I have had the displeasure to know and their misdeeds are what ultimately drove me from Law enforcement.	2/7/2006 11:22:54 PM
	Former CO at MBCC	Keep us posted on Marie. Whats the latest?	12/2/2005 7:30:20 AM
	Former MBCC Officer	There are alot of excellent Correctional Officers at MBCC - Not all of them treat inmates bad. I talked to Ms. Schoonover numerous times - My prayers are with your family during these trying times - I have always treated inmates with respect and have received much respect from them - I cannot even begin to imagine the pain of loosing a child much less to be in prison for something I did not do - Ms. Schoonover made something very beautiful for me but I was not allowed to accept it due to the policies we must follow - but just the thought was enough for me! I know you know who this is from - John, I do not know you - but Marie talked so much about you - Just know that everything will come to light - "Gods word says - Come unto me & I WILL show you great and mighty things which you have not seen".	10/18/2005 6:44:07 PM
	Bill Pitts Tecumseh, OK	John and Marie... Do NOT become weary in doing well... for in due time... you WILL reap a harvest... and the compassion God is placing within both of your hearts for hurting people... will benefit many. Always remember that GOD is the rewarder of those who seek Him diligently and He will make a way where there may seem to be none. God bless you both.	10/12/2005 3:28:27 PM

Former Officer at MB	The more I read about Mrs Schoonover, the more ticked I get. Again, I know how the officers treat the inmates at MB. They treat them like dogs. I bet about 40% of the 'officers' need to be behind bars themselves. There is more drugs in that prison than in any other. And the drugs aren't coming in through the mail. What about a former wardens son getting an inmate pregnant and that inmate being sent back to Hawaii? Last I heard the inmate had about a $10 million law suit pending. also, I wonder how many female officers have left their husbands or male officers that have left their wives because they met and 'hooked up' with an inmate? I tell you, its more than you think. I can't believe I worked there as long as I did. It was horrible. PS I didn't put in the correct email for obvious reasons. I still live in that town and quite frankly, I don't trust anyone that works there.	10/3/2005 10:42:59 AM

	Former Mabel Bassett Officer	I hope all goes well with Mrs. Schoonover. I worked there for 2 1/2 years before and I can tell you one thing. The way it was explained how officers treat the ladies at MB is correct. Some officers are good people, but some are down right aweful. I couldn't stand to see the way some guards treated the inmates and really ticked me off at times. Good luck to Mrs. Schoonover and God Bless.	10/3/2005 9:31:42 AM
	Sandie Enid	I was once in prison myself. Yes these horrible things do happen to innocent people like Marie. But God is with her, and the truth will be revealed! Keep pushing John!And I will be praying!	9/27/2005 7:49:00 PM

	Delena Blackwood Moore, OK	I do prison ministry at Mabel Bassett. Gilda Marie has always kept the faith that God would get her released. She is standing strong on her faith. And, she knows her husband loves her and is fighting for her! That's important. I know the day will come when she's allowed to go home!	8/29/2005 4:55:07 PM

	Jeni W. Oklahoma City, OK	Enter your Comments here. Hope all comes out ok. I do know the injustive the courts can do. Keep the faith and God loves you both.

Linda OK	I am just OUTRAGED at the treatment that Marie is getting! There should be something all of us could do about things like this! Marie is such a sweet lady; and doesn't deserve to be treated like this. The staff is who needs to be investigated! Everyone who reads this story ...join us in "fighting" injustice so it won't keep happening. Use the power of the pen to fight for those who can't fight for themselves. They deserve our help! God bless you John and Marie.	6/19/2005 12:50:37 AM

Vicki Oklahoma	True accidents do happen and the lose of a precious child is a punishment that a mother has to live with for the rest of her life. May God be with Marie and her family as they go through life without this miracle of God with them. Please add my name to the list.	6/17/2005 10:39:09 AM

Pamela California	God has a reason for this. I pray that he will give you strength and bring you thru this.	6/11/2005 7:15:04 PM

	Sally	John, you are a testimony in true love. Hopefully Marie will be freed soon and the deception with the Oklahoma Judges, lawyers and people that would outright lie in a court of law. My daughter was in Mabel Basset until a few months ago - placed there by an overzealous Judge - who didn't even have the decency to EVER look at her during her sentencing and also listened to the court clerk talking to him while my daughter was pleading to not being separated fom her infant son. Good luck to you and Marie - you're in my prayers.	5/25/2005 9:47:17 AM

Delena Blackwood Moore, OK	I am in a prison ministry called Hosanna Ministries. I met Gilda in the prison. She asked me to look up this web address and read about her history and life.	5/16/2005 6:14:15 PM
