Famous quotes by Maureen Orth:

"They're both the same age, 13,"
"He basically tries to sort of insert himself in weak families between the mother and the father. He, in both cases, tried to put his own attorneys in custody battles between the parents."
"I have eyewitnesses saying that Michael Jackson regularly pours white wine into soda cans. That's 'Jesus' juice.' Red wine is called 'Jesus' blood.' And these boys were given this wine."
"This case is not about money because this boy is a cancer victim of stage four who is in danger of death. There's no way you should go through the criminal justice system if what you're after is money."
"I believe ... that Andrew Cunanan did have the acquaintance of Gianni Versace, ... I don't believe they were lovers, but I believe they were in the same place at the same time and that they knew each other."

I've Got That Sad And Lonely Feeling

by: Marion Worth

I've got that sad ond lonely feeling that lonely feeling in my heart
You don't know how much I've missed you since the last time that I kissed you
Why must we be so far apart
I've got that sad ond lonely feeling that lonely feeling all night long
All I do is dream about you cause I just can't live without you
It's not the same since I've been gone
I keep on wondering and whispering your name
I keep on hoping that you think of me the same
I've got that sad ond lonely feeling that lonely feeling over you
But you said last time you saw me that you keep on waitin' for me
So I guess you're feeling lonely too
I keep on wondering and whispering your name...
Well I hope you're feeling lonely too
Well I hope you're feeling lonely too
