A little after lunch on August 15th, 2012, I called Steve Phillips, an attorney who is an acquaintance of my father-in-law’s best friend. He did not answer, so I left him a very brief message asking him to return my call and telling him how I’d been referred to him.
Detective Whittier of the Deland Police Department called me at 9:20 AM EDT. We had a very long phone call in which I updated him on all of the phone calls I had yesterday. He told me that he was planning on going to visit Woodland Terrace tomorrow to attempt to talk to Dr. Peele […]
Here are some notes about Risperdal, the drug prescribed to my mom by Dr. Mossler — a psychiatrist who saw my mom only one time — exactly one week ago, which I declined, and which — when I learned they were ignoring me and administering to her anyway — I begged and pleaded with them […]

I sent this email 1 to Dr. Allen Cusack, the manager of J.E. Cusack Mortuary, where my mother’s body is currently being held: Dear Mr. Cusack, Here is some additional information about my mother. Please do not hesitate to ask — via email or telephone — if there is any other information I can give […]
I called the cell phone number I have for Dr. Peele. 1 I did not expect him to answer, but he did. I said that I was Kathie Gagne’s son and that both a nurse at Fish Memorial Hospital and Dr. Allen Cusack, the manager of the mortuary where my mother’s body is currently located, […]
