9. In 2007, Congress designated September 25
as the "National Day of Remembrance for
Murder Victims." This special day gives us
the chance to honor our nation’s murder
victims and pray for surviving family
members whose lives were forever changed
by an act of violence. While our actions
today cannot change the horrific past, it is
my hope that our shared efforts will, at the
very least, seek to remind us of the common
bond we share as Americans. Their loss is
our loss, and their pain is our pain. We must
never forget.
San Bernardino County District Attorneys’
Office online memorial boards is to do just
that—honor the memories of those who lost
their lives to a senseless act of violence in
San Bernardino County.

If you would like to have your loved one's
photo placed on our online memorial board,
please send us one digital image along with
the name of your loved one, date of birth
and date of passing to clee@sbcda.org. Our
memorial only dates back to 2011 when the
District Attorney's website was revamped;
however, if your loved one's date of passing
is prior to 2011, you are also invited to
submit your photos and be included in the
memorial. The image must be at least 230
pixels wide and 290 pixels high (230x290).
We will update this page once a year on
September 25.
PRAYER VIGIL
VIOLENCE AFFECTS US ALL!
We invite everyone to come and pray with us!
Let us remember in a special way those who have died to violence
in our families, communities and all around the nation,
as well as those who grieve their loss.
Please bring a picture/memento if there is someone
You would like to remember who has died to violence
(Homicide, suicide, war, accident, etc.).

"DETOUR" - a documentary
Multilevel Entertainment is passionate about producing a documentary entitled "DETOUR" to benefit Families & Friends of
Murder Victims, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization since 1995, dedicated to providing information, support, and
friendship to persons who have experienced the death of a loved one through the violent act of murder. This documentary
collaborates with real people and stories from the survivors: the families and friends of the murder victim. Their journeys
from loss to beginning a new life is also told by law makers and enforcers, medical professionals, and clergy.
Our goal is to create a poignant documentary that highlights the effects of homicide on society and the necessary coping
skills for those who are surviving the loss and grief of their loved one ... now, called the victim. By raising public
awareness, we hope that Families & Friends of Murder Victims, Inc. will receive the financial support they need to continue
their work with survivors throughout Southern California in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties, and
become an international model program. For more information, visit igg.me/at/ffmvfilm

I wanted to let you know, we have entered into a new partnership with a L.A. publication, Cuffed and Wanted.
They are publishing stories about unsolved cases in the Los Angeles area. Eventually, they hope to expand to
outlying areas. If you have members with unsolved L.A. crimes, they need to get us a release form (available on
our website) and a good picture. A brief story about the case; detectives to contact, rewards, etc. Publications
come out the 1st and the 15th of the month. We need information by about the 10 days prior to publication. They
are located in Signal Hill and I can easily run information over to them to make sure that it is the right pixel for
their paper.

CAMP GOOD GRIEF (SVP)
Camp Good Grief-Special Victims Program (SVP) is a joint effort between the San Bernardino County District Attorney's
Office Bureau of Victim Services and Loma Linda University Medical Center Children's Hospital. The 3-day grief camp is
geared toward homicide/suicide and is for children ages 10-16 who have experienced a violent death in their family.
Campers board a bus at the Ronald McDonald House in Loma Linda and head to Camp Cedar Falls in the San Bernardino
Mountains for a three-day camp and grief therapy experience.
At camp the children participate in game and team building activities and therapeutic group activities designed to help
them learn and understand how to cope with the grief over the violent death of their loved one. This camp has been so
successful that it has been expanded to include Camp Good Grief - Special Victims Program Teen Retreat. It will be held
annually and provides grief services for teens ages 14-18 who previously participated in Camp Good Grief - SVP and whose
lives have been positively impacted by camp. It will be a combination of learning advanced grief management skills as well
as a training camp for future Camp Good Grief Peer Counselors.
Camp is free of charge to all campers and camperships are funded by unclaimed victim restitution. Therapists and interns
from Loma Linda Marriage and Family Therapy Clinic, Loma Linda Child Life Specialists and District Attorney's Office Victim
Advocates donate their time to the camp.
The Bureau of Victim Services and Loma Linda University Children's Hospital have pledged to continue fundraising activities,
presentations to service groups, and outreach events so they may continue hosting future Camp Good Grief-SVP programs.

Colton & Coachella Chapter of FFMV
In Memory of my daughter Jennifer LeAnne Balber
12/02/73 – 11/10/94
A 20yr. old SoCal Gas Co. Meter Reader,
Fatally Shot in the Line of Service in Rialto, CA
Whenever you feel down, alone or unable to face a situation that you are in right now, let me
tell you, that it’s totally fine. It is okay not to be okay all the time. It is okay to be on the ground,
to cry and to hate everything. But it is only okay as long as you get back up again. Take your
time to get all of your emotions out, but always keep in mind that the moment you’re in won’t
last forever. Just don’t give up. Life isn’t about being strong all the time, but about the ability to
become strong again after a defeat a loss or a bad experience. It’s about not losing hope in life
and first and foremost – in yourself. So, don’t give up. Life is worth to be lived ~ ♥
My beautiful Jen…..I can no longer…See you with my eyes…Touch you with my hands…
But I will feel you in my heart….Forever…Love, Mom

FFMV is excited about the documentary project that highlights the effects of homicide on society and the
necessary coping skills for the survivors of the victims. If you are interested in participating, please email me at
mail4ffmv@yahoo.com. And I will forward your interest, I will keep you posted.
Grief is not healed in a certain time frame, the heart does not work that way...
I continue to pray for the families of the victims and surviving victims for
PEACE, HOPE and JUSTICE!
Thoughtfully,
Rose
