Making a Difference One Family At A Time

I have been pondering to myself what I can do to make a bigger difference to help others who end up in the same situations as those of us whose journey has landed us at White Tanks... I really just feel that going through all of the necessary steps to bring attention to the matter and change policies with the government agencies in Arizona will take too long.  In the time that I spend doing all of that, there will be how many more people placed in the ground at White Tanks Cemetery, without any family notified?!  So, I have decided that my time will be better served if I keep tabs on the obituaries in the Arizona Papers and try to do my own next of kin searches using my missing persons advocacy resources.  I believe that if I do this, I may be able to spare some families the heartbreak that all of us others have already endured.  There are quite a few blurbs put in the paper stating "(Person's Name) died (date), if anyone has information about this person, please call (funeral home name and number).  It is these "obituary listings, as they call them, that have brought many people to me and my organization.  So I believe that maybe if I spend some time working with the funeral homes on my own, researching families and next of kin for these people, on my own, without approaching the government, maybe I can close the gap up?  I would love to hear ANY feedback that you may have about this!

I have been praying about it and this is the answer that I believe God has given me in regards to this issue!
