Ralph: You are absolutely correct that there are only 4 people who really know what happened that day, but let me ask you this..don't you find it very strange that a person shot Lori's husband and she supports that person? I know that if someone murdered my husband I definitely wouldn't be on the murderer's side. Kind of peculiar, don't you think? All I can say to you is this, I loved my father very dearly and at one point in my life I loved Lori and Tom but the day he KILLED my father all that changed. Do you even realize what a life of torment and agony I've gone through??? Do you even care??? I know that my aunt and my cousin do and that's why all 3 of us have gone back and forth with you, but I am done arguing with you about something that makes me cry everytime I push a key on my keyboard. I just hope and pray that you never have a loved one taken away from you in the manner that my dad was taken from me because unless that happens you will truly never understand.
Ralph....I, being the daughter of Tom Beno, personally would not want Kemp's apology. The reason for that is growing up around these people I know that it would not be a sincere apology. Here's my thing, as my aunt said, he had plenty of time BEFORE he murdered my father to make the right decision (4 hours to be exact) and in those 4 hours he also had the chance to think about me or my brother whom he left fatherless, or my grandparents whom he left without their only son, or my aunt whom he left without her brother...need I go on??? All Tom Kemp cared about that day was making sure that my dad didn't have Lori. If you choose to defend a sociopathic killer sir then that is your choice but please get all the CORRECT facts before speaking on something you obviously know little about. As far as I'm concered..the entire Kemp family can join their beloved Tom in hell.
Ralph...I was going to keep my mouth shut, but no longer can. I see you arguing with my cousin over the parole of my father's murderer and believe that you should hear it from someone who LIVED in the situation. I lived with my father up until that tragic day. You ask why they went to Kemp's house on their wedding day, well, i was there and i can tell you why. Lori said "she had to face the music". 32 tears old...what MUSIC do you have to face??? Now, to get to the threats of violence on my family...I AGAIN lived through those threats. I have known the Kemp family all my life, and I've seen first-hand what kind of a man Thomas Kemp is. Yes, I knew Al Kemp very well and he was a great, kind man but his son is a COLD-BLOODED KILLER!!!! Tom Kemp not only took my father's life that day but he took mine and several other family members' lives. Don't tell me about something that I lived through and am still going through today. I will be in Columbus to contest his parole and I will fight until the day God takes me to be with my daddy.
