Most Recent Reflection
View all 11 Reflections70 years since you were killed and the sorrow and pain has never gone away. All these years later we realize more than ever how much we lost. We were little girls then. I still remember seeing three officers standing on our porch. When they said Daddy was in an accident I thought “maybe he will have to use crutches “. It was so much more than that. Love you always.
