From yesterday’s AJC…

A father who suffocated his 5-year-old son apparently to get back at his soon-to-be ex-wife will spend the rest of his life in prison, never to be paroled.

Gary DeToma said nothing in court Tuesday other than to plead guilty to murdering Gary Jr. and trying to kill his younger son, Will, to avoid a possible death penalty if convicted at trial.

Melanie DeToma reached out to us a couple of times after this tragic event to her son in July 2010.  I know we all certainly hope that she and her surviving son are doing as well as can be expected.  Ours thoughts are still with them today.
