Song released in honor of Susan Powell

October 14, 2012 @ 6:45 pm

Susan Powell, the mother of two little boys killed when their father intentionally blew up their Puyallup house, turns 31 Tuesday. Her friends are remembering her with an original song.

The West Valley City, Utah woman has been missing since December of 2009. Powell's husband, Josh, said he didn't know anything about her disappearance. He killed himself and the couple's two young sons - Braden and Charlie - at their home in Graham earlier this year.

Jennifer Graves, Josh Powell's estranged sister, spoke to a group of girls over the weekend about building healthy relationships. The discussion ended with a performance of "A Dream Away" written by one of Susan's friends, Camilyn Morrison.

Any profits from the song will go toward memorials for Susan in Utah and Puyallup.

Susan

    Also, we can direct comment on Dori now.

    How about a completely open forum so readers might pick the topics?

    TNT this AM has a front page story on mail in voting and how 4% are thrown out - but nothing on MYWN(yet?)

    Good suggestion about an open forum, or at least an open topic question. You should be able to comment on all the show pages, though I'm not sure if they've turned the commenting on. I don't believe you'll have to go through Facebook to interact with Dori or Ron & Don.

    I understand what you are saying, but sometimes it's better if you just keep your trap shut, especially where your words can harm family members...and really it just makes you look like an A-hole.

    Aren't you the same man who was defending Josh Powell to the bitter end. You seem to be a very angry person, full of a lot of hate. I feel truly sorry for you. People get into a relationship and things can be fine for months or years before things go south. From the little the we know of this situation, and yes little is correct because not one of us was in their shoes, she was making an effort to get out of the relationship. You sir are a sad and angry man. I can only hope you will seek counseling. It must be awful going through life so angery and bitter.
