Will's family, friends express their feelings via cyberspace

In the weeks leading up to Justin Boulay's release from prison for Andrea Will's murder, her friends and family members have turned to social networking sites, such as Facebook, to help raise awareness.

The “Voices for Andrea Faye Will” page amassed more than 2,000 members, where friends, relatives and even strangers posted their thoughts and changed their profile pictures to a solitary candle in Andrea's memory and to urge women to leave abusive relationships.

Andrea's mom, Patricia Rosenberg, could not be reached for comment Monday, but posted this message on the page”

“Following is part of the victim impact statement I was not allowed to read in court before the sentencing by the judge. Other family members and friends were not allowed to read theirs either.

These are questions that I would imagine my daughter may have asked me throughout her life starting from the day she was taken from me.

1. What was it like to live in a sorority house with all of the friends I now call my sisters?
