It was quite good.

Fresno CA.

1. No one ever gets over the loss of a child.

It was a heartbreaking death but they have their memories of a daughter who cared deeply about other people, a testament to how they raised her.

3. they certainly had more to show for her tragic death than most parents do

I think they followed her footsteps and honored her amazing spirit better than most ever could.
an astonishing example set by parents and child.
a really good show in NY as well, despite some very serious obstacles.

by Grabthar's hammer, by the sons of Warvan, you shall be avenged!
