This young lady from South L.A. talking about losing her brother is making me cry. A big fat 60 year old man sitting on the couch crying. And you know what? She speaks the truth.

5. Her name was Edna and she made me cry too!

Too many people are ignorant of the trauma done to families when one of their children is murdered violently.

Years ago I met a young girl, about 20, whose sister was violently attacked and murdered at knife point while babysitting one night. She was in therapy and NOT doing well at all. None of the family was doing ok. The ripple effect is devastating!
