I'm reminded of my friend Jesse's parents crashing a Piper Cub some years ago due to a low altitude low speed mid air collision, (it's a long story why) about a mile from their home and almost on the lawn of State Police barracks Troop B. The 5 or 6 kids got split up & sent here & there to different family members at far corners of the country. Devastating to the kids to say the least. Jesse lost his twenty something son in a car crash a few years ago.
What some people carry in life...
