Wow - brought me to tears. I just said to my husband a few hours ago how much I dislike "and seven others". I know it wasn't meant to sound insensitive but these were people lost were just as loved as Kobe and Gigi, just as significant to the people in their lives.

Absolutely beautifully written and I will be posting this to my Facebook page as well.

Thanks for the link. It was very touching. I'm glad to know i wasn't the only one who was getting even more sad to hear "and 7 others" over and over. They are people too..

Mary Higgins Clark AKA Scary Mary.....one of her earlier books scared the sh#$ out of me years ago. I'll miss her stories.

Muggle, which book was that? There was one that got me years ago too. The Cradle Will Fall, maybe? I think of the ones I've read my favorite is Loves Music, Loves to Dance.

I’ve read all of Mary Higgins Clark’s books and followed her on Facebook. She lived a wonderful 92 years.

I've never read Mary Higgins Clark's mysteries, but I did recently read Mount Vernon Love Story, a based-on-fact historical novel about George and Martha Washington that she wrote in the 60's, went OOP, then was recently re-released. I enjoy that genre and time period, and the book didn't disappoint.

Thank you for posting that and to your friend for writing it. I had heard the Altobellis had other children but didn't know one of them is a teen. Absolutely heartbreaking.
