      @Smoke King I remember hearing him talk about that. Companies from states away were reaching out to him to get him caskets and he had friends driving hours away to meet people and pick them up. They also drove for hours delivering each one to the family. This man is doing great things. I’m glad he is getting recognition it just sucks that this is why he’s getting it. His company is linked to tragedy but he is doing an amazing job giving these families some more positive memories after losing them.

    It's horrible enough losing a child to an illness or accident, but to lose a precious child because some sicko murders them is so revolting and disgusting that it defies comprehension. I pray the family finds some healing after all this. I don't know how I would cope, I really don't.

    As a viking and history nerd, it really got me emotional hearing about the viking symbols and her tagging along to the Renaissance festival with her dad - I can get a feel for the type of family they were and they could have easily been my friends, neighbors, or family... there's no reason any of this had to happen. She seemed like the kind of daughter one would be proud of. RIP baby girl.
