It's amazing how a simple housewife's life touched so many people.

As tight as we are, we are happy.

I have had to open the doors (to) others for their help and support, because my priority right now is to take care of them (the children) emotionally and to see they are getting their education. My wife was passionate about the children's education.

Sometimes I can't help but feel guilty. Was she in over her head? Was there something more I could have done to help out?

When people walk out of here, you think about your own personal life. I'm not going to complain ? it could be a lot worse. We go home every night, kiss our family, grateful that everybody is home and OK. It's a big wake-up call.

He and I have a rich life together. I want to thank all of those people who haven't been seen yet for helping me through these tough times.
