“I am frustrated. I come from a funeral home family, and I know what it is like when people have to bury loved ones, and I know the natural order of things, because I have had to bury my father and my stepfather and my grandparents, who were--my grandfather specifically, who stepped in for my father when he died, but that is the natural order of things.

I just think that we have to do something about it. It is one thing when the cameras are there and the family has the support at the funeral of all these people, the Congressperson comes, family comes, and says, ``Oh, we are going to be with you, and we are going to support you and pray for you during this time,'' but at the end of the day, that mother and father goes back to that house, and that kid's room is empty.…”
