The Calm of Wheat On An
Open Plain
In You, We Saw All The Possibilities We Have

Memories: From Ann
Seven Hawks loved the adventure of traveling and learning about different places, people and cultures.
It never bothered him to move from place to place as long as he was with those he loved.
He was a happy and thriving child. This is how we got to know and love so many people in different places.
He always had something fascinating to write about his summer vacation after returning to school in September.
As his mother, I will always remember and cherish the memories of traveling and learning and growing together with the most beautiful sons on this earth, Seven Hawks and Ganusquah.
Our experiences and journeys together gave us a life time experience and knowledge that the three of shared and understand deeply with one another.
No one can ever take this from us.
The memory will live in our spirit and hearts forever.

Seven Hawks: The last knife
Although Seven was stabbed numerous times, there is one more deep cut that needs to be addressed.
Betrayal
Jose Alverado was fascinated with the Native culture. He sought out the family and was fascinated with them. Both the boys and Ann McManus. He took advantage of hospitality the family offered. He took advantage of their openness. He wriggled his way into their lives, making himself feel at home. Unbeknown to them, a rage lurked inside.
Alverado turned on them, first on Ann, because he was cut off after having a few (way) too many. Who was to know? Who could have predicted? Why was he carrying around a knife? These loving people were there for him, but he turned on them. Tomorrow Alverado will appear in court.
**He will be pleading not guilty,
**Says he was defending himself
**He is being held on $1 million bond
*UPDATE: 4/22/08
Next Court Date for animal:
Probable Cause Hearing on MAY 28, 2008

Dear Ann & Ganusquah
So sorry to read about what happened to Seven Hawks. My heart goes out to you both.
I have been digging through old pictures of Hawkie & Nunny when they were little squirts running with their pack of buddies - catching salamanders, building forts, spray painting my truck. You were all great kids. Please let me know where I can send you some photos.
I've been looking at Hawkie's little face & imagining the handsome, strong warrier he grew up to be, strong enough to defend his mother. I have always had a soft spot for his tenderness. Now I will always honor his courage.
I wish you strength in the coming days for all that you will have to deal with, and I wish you the kind hearted support of your friends & family when you need it.
Your old circle of friends out here send you their love. You will always be in my heart.

Ann, Nunny, You are in my prayers, my thoughts, and my heart. Ann, you have always been a wonderful mother to your boys. The love you 3 share will live on forever. Nothing can change that. Your warrior will be with you always. Nunny, all children should be as close as you and Hawky. You 2 had a bond like Jason & Eric and that can't be taken away from you.

Ann and Nunnie,
My heart goes out to the both of you. I am in shock. Know you are all in my prayers. Please accept this eulogy for the family.
"Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die."
