Well done
Such a personal recollection of a terrifying end to someone’s daughter. For all who have lost someone in such a horrific manner you never forget and you can only hope the event is told with the same truth and dignity offered in this podcast.
Enlightenment
Thanks to all the members of these devastated families for their bravery in allowing this podcast to “entertain” us. I am left with such a feeling of respect for Melanie’s life and legacy. Isla does a wonderful job of allowing us into the lives of the survivors.
