In some families, the birth of a child can change everything.

I would appear if we had a boy or girl, but IT was going to be nice to .

have a little boy. Da aras was over the moon when her first grandchild was born. Dean Robert spring tube came into this world on september twenty six, two thousand five, playing seven pounds, stretching out to twenty and a half inches.

He was beautiful. I was madly in love with them.

Her husband, roy felt the same way you were german. I was absolutely sure.

Yes.

the baby's mother, dana's daughter, tory vo, was just twenty one and not ready for the chAllenges of parent od. But as baby team grew from a newborn e into a happy infant with a sweet smile, tory grew as well.

He was something that we didn't know we were missing until he came. And he was one big, fat ball of love. And he opened up my daughter.

It's like, you can just see her hearts go huge. IT was a beautiful sight to see watching her become a mom. I think every mom should be able to see that with their child.

All of that joy turned to horror on the evening of july twenty six, two thousand six. Nice to me. I have and OK take a deep for a deep.

as I can understand.

We tell a lot of sad stories here on date line. And while this one isn't easy to tell, IT might make you think about the relationship you have with your kids or your parents. What happened to see the ago? Turn a happy mother and grandmother into a fighter who now wants the world to know what happened to her family because SHE says there are lessons here. They're about life, about trust, and they're about the choices we make. And what she's learned might be a gift to someone else's family before we go ahead here, when I asked you something, you sure you want to do this?

Yes.

because this isn't .

going to be pleasant.

But I think it's important. I think it's important to do tory could have done any girl.

but of course he wasn't any girl. He was das tory.

was the perfect daughter for me. SHE wasn't perfect, but he was perfect for me. And from the minute he was born, we were two PS in a pod. SHE was perfectly flawed.

I believe most mothers probably would argue that their daughters know any flaws.

No person, no, he had flaws.

Dinner says tory would get so focused on a goal that SHE sometimes ignored signs of problems along away. Stubbing, yeah. And IT doesn't seem as if he always made the best choices in man.

no, there's a floor there.

Tory's best friend Daniel moon remembers how tory always seem to fall for the wrong guy. What kind aren't .

they weren't stable guys .

that .

kind of.

yeah guys that what we're .

that nice store yeah not nice to her and I nice and general.

Maybe that shouldn't be a surprise, given that our relationships as adults often reflect the ones we witness as children. Tory was barely, too, when her father left and cut all ties with her and dina and those stepped dad, roy filled his shoes later on and certainly loved her. Tory spent years dealing with her mother's issues.

Now i'll say this from the jump. I am a recovery alcoholic, and up until he was sixteen, her life was fairly Normal. And then I crash hed. I think i've always spent an alcoholic, but IT came to ahead .

at this point, although you are drinking.

you were functioning. I was functioning.

but then I like, no longer functioning what?

And then I just couldn't. I woke up and I had a drink and I take my daughter to school.

drug?

yeah. And as many .

children of alcoholics do, tory helped her mother cover up the drinking hiding bottles, denying there was a problem. And for a while that worked, but at sixteen, tory felt he couldn't take .

IT anymore. Tory said, I love you, but I hate you when you drink, and I will not watch you to destroy your life. And I found a place for you to interview for a recovery home and you get one shot. And if you fail at, i'm not coming back, I need my mom .

back that had to feel good knowing that whatever mistakes you want to make, you rise. Daughter.

I was very proud of her.

And so da went off to rehab for nearly a year. Roy moved a way to deal with the family's collapse in his own way. And tory, still in high school, lived with friends, worked as a waitress. When dana emerged nine and a half months later, dry and sober, IT was tory, turned to be proud.

But I wanted her to see that you could stand back up when you fall, and you could get your life back together, put our marriage back together, put our family back together.

Over the next few years, tory and dana became closer than ever. Then one day, tory came home with some news of her own. SHE came to the .

house and he said, I need to talk to you. SHE would kept heming and high, and I said, just put IT out to tell me, will deal with where IT is and he said, i'm pregnant.

IT should have been the beginning of a happy new chapter in the lives of both mother and daughter. But sometimes, as we told you earlier, the birth of a child can change everything.

When SHE became pregnant, tory was living with her boyfriend and kneel spring tube also into the same roof. Tory's best friend Daniel mullen. When tory brought baby dee home, these three twenty something roommates shared the parenting.

They took different shifts. One worked one shift, someone else worked another. And Daniel always was Carrying him in the baby pouch, where Normally the moma is Carrying the baby in the baby pouch. No, Daniel would be doing .

that pretty taking with that baby from the beginning.

Yes, he time he is my best, really. Yeah, I mean, I I watched him everyday while everyone was at work. So I mean, doctors appointments is IT somewhere going to the store? He is my .

right hand. Man at that time was amazed and amused by the three way child care that tory had figured out.

The three of them were comical, and dean was just filled love.

But by the summer of two thousand and six, when baby dean was ten months old, toria neil had broken up. Daniel had moved home with his mom, though he continued to help out daily with jeans care. Mother and baby were living in low income housing in a rough part of santiago. But even so, grandma da still thought life was good. The last time you saw that was your the .

pool together. SHE had gotten into a picky. He is .

very proud of that.

And Daniel was in the pool with with dean and roy was in the pool of dean and dean had learned how to flush. He realized that was his hand that was making the water splash and he would just raw with laughter and thought I was just the funniest thing and um I said, isn't our life perfect? We've come full circle. Doesn't that sound like um music from heaven when he laughs.

That was what .

the that was sunday, sunday, the twenty third of july.

Three days later, on wednesday night, dinner was struck by a news story about a mother and her baby.

That night I saw the news that I think they said a mother that was twenty seven and a child that was eight months had been murdered.

One of the roommates came home to the south, crass complex, just before nine.

And then I said, a player for that family thought that is horrible, went to bed, thought nothing more often .

but the next day da got a call from tories workplace SHE hadn't shown up SHE called daycare baby dean wasn't there. So he called Daniel moon, who was with tori A N dee nearly every day and Daniel, in an almost matter of fact way, told bana the worst news sheet ever heard.

He said, having the police contacted you and I said, why would the police be calling me and he said, the mother and child on the news last night was tory. Indeed.

IT was too terrible to hear.

I was engulfed in heat, and I know when I went back to the phony, the mind was dead.

Da called police to find out more. They confirmed the news that both her daughter and grandson were dead. They held back the details because IT was a gruesome crime, but soon enough, da would hear IT on the news. Tory had been beaten, but SHE and ten months old baby dean had been strangled. Dean was still in his .

crib call. The sergeant said, please tell me that this isn't true. He said, I can tell you that. And then the nightmare began by the .

time dinner had learned what had happened to her baby, grandson and her daughter. Police had already gone through the apartment, dusting for prints, searching for DNA, looking for anything that might explain this double murder. First of, what could you tell the crime .

just said that appeared to be a violent assault.

Kevin roni supervised the same ago police homicide unit.

There was no forced century in the apartment, but IT wasn't uncommon for toria, and her two remains .

to leave the door unlocked. Seul soul robbery, what he goes like.

SHE was clad with a barb, but there were some tears to our clothing. So at the beginning, yeah, we were open the possibility that maybe IT was an intruder with attempt in the raper.

But this is an attempted rape that went wrong. Why killed up ten months old child who wasn't going to be able to testify?

exactly? I mean, a ten month boy who doesn't speak .

right away. The cop started bringing in tory's friends.

Tories best .

friend Daniel, the one who had taken such good care of baby d, was also brought downtown. That's your typical interrogation.

Little tiny room. Yeah, little tiny room. Light on me talking. What do please? They asked me where I was.

Thank you for your points. yes. Can forget your cell phone? Yes, you feel like a suspect.

I didn't feel like a suspect the first night. Now that .

Tory and dean were gone. Santiago detectives were piece together. Tory's life, her mother dinner was planning a double final farewell. How do you get through funeral for your only child and her brand new baby?

In a days, in a days, did you think about .

drinking again? never.

Because IT seems like that .

would be a time when you would think about.

I would never disappoint or her that way. I made mistakes when he was growing up with my drinking. I wasn't going to .

make up my death, but dinner was aching. SHE bought forty three books on grieving, open in vain that one would yield a clue to living through the brutal murder of a daughter and and son. SHE also looked for answers from the santiago police, but didn't find them. They are either. They told her they were working the case, but nothing more, which is typical police procedure prostration .

extremely.

And that made you angry.

I was angry from probably weak, too. I felt that they were sweeping tory indeed, under the carpet.

So this breathing mother and grandmother decided he had to do something. Maybe what he did was a form of therapy, or maybe IT was just that he needed to scream something at someone at the top of her lungs.

We're not going away. We're just getting bigger and we're getting louder.

He organized candlelight vigils. SHE worked with groups like crown stoppers and put out playing cards with tory, an denes photos, cards that said, please call if you know anything. And in frustration, dinner held a press conference right in front of the headquarters of the Sandy ago police.

Nobody deserves to die this way, and certainly not an infant who could not get away. He couldn't speak. He was a baby .

all along. He kept calling lootenant Kevin rui, asking for details, and he wasn't giving up anything when were .

investigating a murder. There are many details on progress that we won't reveal. Da was very angry, and I understanding that.

and he feels like you guys get nowhere.

Oh, he was very upfront about that.

Of course, police were making progress, but progress in a real homicide rarely happens as quickly. That does not A T, V crime drama. Sepa have to be issued for things like cell phone records and computer hard drives, and all of that would take weeks, if not much, to come in.

What police did learn quickly about tory was that he didn't seem to have any enemies. He did, however, lead a very complicated life. Tory was juggling not just work and motherhood, but also three men, her boyfriend, kyle, springing tube, her house, Daniel moon, and an old boyfriend, dana pots. The cops quickly established that neil was in florida at the time of the murders. So that left to just give me a brief sort of capture.

Each one of dana pots, new tories in high school. They attended the same high school. They had what was described as a not exclusive relationship. For whatever reason, they were constantly drawing back to one another and did have a sexual relationship that existed a over the years since high school.

Daniel moon never qualified as a boyfriend. Maybe he was too nice or just too shy.

Daniel, newer, for a long time from one, then a earlier job together. He described in his best friends, but he wanted more. I believe he laughed, and he wanted a romantic relationship with her.

And you knew that that sometimes made Daniel, if not angry.

at least unhappy. IT sure seemed as though of the three people, the three men in her life, he seemed to be the one on the outside looking in.

However, in the weeks before tory was killed, things were beginning to change. Between tory and Daniel, SHE seemed open to the possibility of making their relationship more than just friends. But SHE wasn't sold on IT. SHE wasn't quite as the old ideas you were.

I don't think so. No, that value? No, not really.

But I was upset .

that he also still talk to Dennis and other people. But I knew how SHE was before, so I kind have to accept her. How SHE was Daniel?

He d spent years being forgiving of tory's weaknesses. Despite that loyalty. They not told detectives something didn't seem right to her about Daniel specifically how he knew so much so soon about the murders you had to, during that time, sort of flash back to how much more Daniel was in a tory and tory was in a Daniel and IT scared me the way that .

he knew that they were dead and the way that he told me they were dead. That kind of scared me is what I told the police.

And in turn, police made sure Daniel knew he was in their sites. The cop start coming that you pretty hard. yes. Prime.

after they told me that I was the main suspect, yeah, look right.

They said you were the main suspect.

I believe that was the only suspect at that time.

With the pressure on, Daniel told the cops he didn't do IT and he wanted to help find out who did. He shared with them unusual text messages he received from tory a little before seven pm. That night, Daniel said. IT was soon after he got back to work from a break. IT was also around the time police believed to and dean were killed.

And that's why I left my phone with them that night because I said I got a lot of text before. Some scary guy, I don't know that has nothing .

to do with that. There are some scary guy standing by my car looking into my place. Red one. Then you'll told the police that was odd because tory didn't think of her shared apartment as her place. He also told detectives about another text he thought was even stranger.

Dean was sleeping like a dead dog.

He said that dean was sleeping like a dead dog. A was that though you talked, no, no, no. In an age demographic, which is reduced to text messages, emotions as complex and different as love and hate, desire and friendship, tories texted words to the annual are suddenly full of mystery.

SHE text, you, at one point, I love you, I want to be with you and then SHE is my plans with denis, fell through when that you come over. yeah. And that's funny.

S, I never knew that they're going to meet.

Tory had told Daniel SHE was going to see her mom dinner that evening, but in reality, he was going out to dinner with denis pots, her old flame from high school, the third man in her life.

The police investigation of the double murder of a mother and her child had focused on two men tory's best friend Daniel moon and her old boyfriend dana pots. Tory had met Daniel in high school in the media. California, a well off enclave southeast of santiago, known for its golf course and horse trails.

They've gone out for a few months. They're seen your year even though they didn't run in the same circles then as his father was a corporate executive. His mother, a real ter tories father wasn't around and her mom was in rehab.

Then he's gutter. What the high school there at the same time, that was a rich, rich school, in my opinion. I was among the middle class, I guess, but I was definitely middle to more wealthy high school in that verified world.

Then as pots stood at the top in high school, that means money, new cars, prestige. Tory didn't have any of those. Tory saw the idea of somebody who was popular in school, or the idea of somebody who had IT well off.

And maybe that's what attracted hurt IT on us. While their dating relationship didn't last, their sexual relationship did on again, often again. IT survived both high school and several other relationships. Had a tory describe her a relationship with that is .

pretty just get friends with benefits.

they would sort of hook up. This was back in high school.

And then after the yeah high school yeah and then always through as long as I knew before.

he was always so of there .

in the background correction.

he was apparently in the background when tory was living with neil. In fact, once a maternity test showed that tories then boyfriend neil spring stube wasn't baby din's father, tory told her mother IT must be done is so they .

did a mail in paternity test to the same place that her kneeled. And the results came back that Dennis wasn't the father.

no. So tory asked Dennis for another test. The results were the same. Dennis was not the father, and he calls network and he's yr.

ical. And then he said denis wants neil to take another test because he thinks he falsified IT. And as a tory, neil wanted nothing more than to be dan's father. He wouldn't ali fied purity test. There's something wrong with us.

They are urge tory to go to court and have a judge order a purna test. But tory was reluctant.

SHE didn't want to hurt anyone else. He said, I already hurt neil, and I chose to have done, and I don't have the right to ruin anyone else's life. I've already ruin neils.

And your answer was, okay. There's somebody else who's responsible here.

Boy stepped up and said, honey, this about you. This is about dean .

and sota agreed. She'd asked them as pots for a third test.

I was friends third said on the news, I had no idea that the child was murder too. Yes, that was just a big, big, shocking.

Police were also talking to two days after the murders. Denot's pots came downtown to have a conversation in that same small room in which Daniel moon had spent so much time.

say he was that night. He said that he had spent the time frame that would include the time of the murder between five and the afternoon and eight in the evening at a friends house fell by them in the max corn.

and you check with maxi corn. We did any back that up.

He ve watched form .

in the story. No.

no. Far from the cops know there aren't .

that many reasons why people kill. And often IT boils down to one of three things, love, pride, money. To police, unrequited love looked like a possible motive for Daniel moon, but maybe pride or money figured into a possible motive .

for denis pots. I S me. She's the father. But IT shouldn't happen.

Like, was that point.

jess, I come for five months.

What had denis pots tell you about his maternity and the whole issue of child support?

He claimed he had only had sex with her one time during the period that he probably would have conceived of the child. He used a condom a during that encounter. Deny being the dad said he was supportive of tories efforts to figure .

out who the father was. We did two test, one where I swam myself, swap the baby, and once were SHE swam. And the baby I open envelops fresh in front of, and I see them up in in front of her and the man, the melt came back, you are another dead.

Did you bother?

What would just to be on the safe side? We asked him for her a dani exam that we could .

use for comparison OK. I I was expected if I compare this .

to do like people we just here hear that what you're gona tell me.

going to tell me and should tell the same thing that are returning tested. And if not, i'm going to be surprised, really sincerely surprised. yes.

Dana had long been suspicious of Dennis pots because SHE believed denis had somehow manipulated those purna tests in her frustration and hearing nothing from the tenant uni or his investigators. He went to TV station K, F, M, B, and gave them a tip, one that would become big news. As soon as IT rain on T, V, check out a guy named .

denis spots is.

So you put Dennis .

is name out with .

that information of producer from K, F, M, B. Went to the home where denis lived with his parents.

Where was he the night in the mood? Didn't have a date with her that night.

And the police come to see you without running and you're thinking and what he's going to give you big thank you and .

what you get instead .

very angry and you were not happy.

No, no, not at all. I said I can have these details out there. And if IT means I don't tell you another thing until this things resolved one way another, that's what i'll do because my obligation is to your daughter and .

her son that he had failure.

I think he did.

They hadn't solved the case, but ronis crime la. Did solve any issue. Dana had been right that a test ordered by police of the courts would come out differently. Then, as passes DNA proved, he was the father of baby bean and his DNA didn't match the DNA sample that had been sent to the male e order purna testing company. The crime lab said that DNA sample came from someone else.

IT was a friend, max corn, who vowed for him being at his house during the time frame that we believe .

tory was murdered.

That had to make you very suspicious. absolutely.

Holidays and birthdays came and went. Dan aras spent time with her daughter and grandson at the cemetery.

Hi my Angel babies.

SHE wasn't close to being able .

to move on. I am sorry. I didn't protect you.

but police had moved on. Daniel moon was no longer a suspect. Investigators were now focused on denis part.

The prime suspect continued to live at home with his parents and a Fiona, and to spend much of his time with the man who was his alby for the murder, max corn, his best friend. They even got matching tattoos. Look in at Kevin rooney.

And his team kept working the case. When the cell phone records finally came in, detectives were able to see how tories last day had taken shape. What did you learn about what tories plans were for that evening?

IT was her belief that Dennis s. Had made a reservation at Georgeous at the cove, a very nice restaurant. Lai SHE had arranged for a babysitter that he was going to drop, getting off to. And there was this exchange of calls and text messaging that went on, some of which we were able to recover along.

Denis had maintained he and tory never did see each other that night and never intended to.

So you guys didn't .

have any plans for sale.

Their text told a different story a little before noon. On the day he died, tory texted Dennis, okay, i'll see you at five. Are you bringing my surprise? What is IT? His response isn't known, but the texting continued. At one forty seven, he wrote, can I be casual in genes at four thirty two, SHE wrote, you still coming? He wrote, right back the, i'll be there at five fifteen, you home alone.

SHE seemed guilty in the words that he was excited about going out to dinner and that he said that he had a present for her and that he was in the car, and then, of course, asked, are you alone? In retrospect, IT just seems so out of left eld and inappropriate to care whether she's alone at her apartment.

The homicide team also learned a little more about where Dennis was again from his cell phone records.

Dennis said that nobody else had his phone. Nobody else. He used his phone. And he was with mexico from five until .

late at night was his phone at mexico's house.

I don't think so. His phone moved around between five and eight. There were a number calls that we're made that did not use the cell de in beneath where mexico s home was. And the last call that was made use a cell hour national city that was very close to tories apartment.

If Dennis had his phone and his phone picked off a tower near the tories apartment, then police said he couldn't have been at max corns all night. So police applied pressure to max. Now there is any time a few of leather.

But I didn't do IT, but I would somebody want to be covered for me, put me here. So you you have to be part that we can finally that. Denny gunter remembers how in high school, max and denis were well known for watching each other's backs and for not taking high school life too seriously. Max and Dennis, I would say that overall, there wasn't a lot of of accountability that was kind of deal you'd like and will deal with the consequences later. IT was a Dennis parents house that police finally found the break they needed.

We eventually ended up serving a search world on their home, let to recover. Some items are computer .

and some other things. When they dug into Denny's hard drive, they found internet searches. He had done searches that told them what Dennis pots was thinking, and when, on june to twenty fourth, denis asks the internet for help on this topic, committing murder june twenty six, one month to the day before the murder.

Then, as searches, court ordered paternity test procedure. Later that same day, he asks for information on how to cheat a swab purna test. Two days later, then he wants to know the best way to kill someone.

Two days after that, he's asking about getting away with murder july seventh. Then us looks up information on getting out of child support, july ninety th, performing chocolates later, how to kill someone july twenty fifth at four sixteen in the afternoon. Then a searches cyber space again, his topics, knocking someone unconscious and knocking someone in the head. The next day was july twenty six, two thousand six, tory and dean were murdered.

January sixteenth, two thousand eight, eighteen months after tory and baby dean were murdered, a very long investigation paid off. Then, as pots and his best friend max corn were arrested, denis charged with the murder, max charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice. IT would be another eighteen months until then his post went to trial.

His attorney, Carrier armstrongs, said his client was guilty only of not being ready to be a dad. Mister botz now admit setting fake those tests. He does. He admitted that to me, near the very beginning of the case, and actually, as you probably know by now, testified to that during the trial on the stand, denis told the jury he thought baby dean looked like him and said he suspected that if he didn't do something, he was going to have to deal with the obvious.

I don't want the term banks time, but I I need to figure out what else to do here as far as raising a child or or making child support payments .

is try to explain away the online searches, saying he was interested in eat aric topics like mixed martial arts that involved knocking someone unconscious. He said he written a paper about youths in asia for a community college class once and thought i'd like to write one on murder next. So he typed in how to kill someone, committing murder and getting away with IT. The problem was that Dennis wasn't in school at the time and hadn't signed up for any sort of writing class on the stand. Then is also denied being a double murderer.

I never thought about a killing tory of the now or the in, in any sense. It's not usually a thought that comes in anyone head, may not any same person.

What's wrong with the theory that then as pots didn't want to be responsible for this child because he would embarrass him in front of his family and in front of his girlfriend, and he wasn't his plan, and he didn't want to spend the money, I did everything he could to fake a couple of opportunity tests. Now I want IT looked like tory was going to agitate for a test that was going to be pretty much bullet proof. IT pushed him too far.

Any gillers, I never disputed that. That was a strong theory by the prosecution. What I argued was that there was a stronger, reasonable suspicion that someone else actually committed the murder. That was Daniel moving.

Kerry armstrong argued a trial that Daniel moon had even more motive, that he was in love with tory, but that he had rejected him despite that he helped her out with baby deem, that he came over every day to bring in the daycare and used his money to buy baby supplies. And of course, all of that was true, even the love and maybe even the rejection at trial. The defence said that you did that I was.

They're escape hard to here, very hard here.

Except Daniel had an ally that, unlike the one given by Dennis parts, did not rely on a word of a close friend. He was seen on the store security camera at work on the night of the murders, and his cell phone paint on the tower near where he worked. So Daniel was never charged. In the end, IT was clear he was not guilty of killing both a woman and a baby he had loved.

With the jury above entitled cause find the defending denis micropower .

guilty .

of the primary.

a jury believed all the guilt rested with Dennis pots. Dennis pots family has planning of money. Whatever job of our door was before certainly wasn't going to break them. Better to commit murder than just pay the money.

Maybe was too smart for his own good. Maybe thought I was going to work, maybe really just didn't want to be attached to whether to be a toria sun for the next eighteen years. He had a girl that isn't around to be becoming as Fiona and IT was a nice simple thing to do on the side. But I think you've got a lot more complicated .

and there might have been more to Dennis plan. Remember those strange text Daniel received the day of the murders. Police think that was Dennis, who had already killed tory, and dean using tories phone to lure Daniel to the scene.

What would have happened if Daniel had shown up? That's something only done. As knows, there's no question they lie.

In a separate trial, max corn was found guilty of conspiracy to obstruct justice. He served nearly three years behind bars. Denise pots was sentence to life without the possibility of parole, which is exactly what tories mother, dad wanted.

Before this, I believed in the death penalty, I would have been gone hole for this guy to get the death county anymore. Too easy, too easy.

You want them with this?

absolutely.

At sentencing, da gave the judge a photograph of tory an dee together in their casket. Dana wants to make sure that photo hangs in denot's poses cell for the rest of his life. SHE requested exactly that from the trial's judge.

He left the bench, came back, you could tell he'd been crying after seeing the photo always wipe in his eyes, said it's so ordered daily.

Aras says he now understands why the investigation took along, and she's very appreciative of everything. We will tell that rooney and his team did dinner now works with families who've lost loved ones to violence, helping others understand as much as can be understood in cases like these. When I interviewed him, Daniel moon had recently had a child of his own, yet he still found himself missing that first baby who came into his life.

I think about doing a lot when I playing with my own daughter to think what he could have in. He never got to start talking or really getting walking and doing all those things. So every time my daughter does something new to me, I think what would he have been like when he was get into that age?

Dana still struggles with her own guilt after pushing her daughter to take denis to court for that Peterson ity test, SHE would not let that go when .

SHE SHE won't let her go.

Yes.

SHE distribution.

Now I know there's no way you could not know what would come next. SHE would rather believe there's a more spiritual reason for what happened.

I believe they're in heaven and and I believe that god called him home. And I think dean came to take his, my home and our children are not alone to us. I just forgot .

that dinner says he tries to remember only the happy times the joy SHE experienced so briefly of being a grandmother. How they died, he says, was just a moment. How they lived is what he wants to remember.
