Mariah filmed a public service announcement today in an effort to help find Christina Marie Williams, who was abducted from the Monterey area of Northern California on June 12. The thirteen year old fan of Mariah's was taken off the street while walking her dog. The FBI is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to her return. The suspects are thought to have been driving an older, light grey Mercury Monarch or Ford Grenada. The PSA will begin airing tomorrow (Wednesday, July 15) Mariah had this to say:I feel for her family and for what they're going through...It's very difficult meeting the family and seeing their grief, and you can understand why someone like me would want to come out here...I do what I do for my fans. If someone is in need of my help, the least I can do is to try to draw attention to it. More information can be found at the Polly Klaas Foundation's website at: http://www.pollyklaas.org/cmwilliams.htm *** PLEASE TRY AND HELP HERE,IT IS A VERY GOOD CAUSE AND US MARIAH FANS SHOULD ALWAYS STICK TOGETHER *** Goodluck Christina. :)
I am sad to say that Christina's body was found. Mariah told in a brief press released she was, "deeply saddened by the news." This poem is in respect for Christina and her family. "SHE'S WATCHING" I am so sorry for your loss I know you're mourning for your child You're searching for answers Of a pain that's hardly mild I know the days are long And the nights are so cold Because your wonderful daughter Faced such anger so bold You must feel cheated and hurt With the pondering question why Why it had to be your child And why she had to fly Please take these words as a token Take them as being true Because there are thousands out there Sharing pain with you I know you must feel empty I know that you feel pain The sun she brought into your life Is overwhelmed with rain Just know people like me are there To help you in anyway Because we know you lost someone special On that tragic day We will never forget this girl We hope that you'll be strong Because hopefully with love and support You can carry on I know that Christina is watching From the clouds above Yearning to wipe away your tears And say her final words of love Take comfort in knowing she's up there That's she's watching you I hope you cherish what a gift she was And that your memories pull you through. --- CJW 1999.
