It's strange that we can be so affected by such a long ago, unknown tragedy, isn't it?

So sad! It tugs at your heartstrings to see her with that teddy bear and to know what happened to her.

What really intrigues me about this very say photo is who wrote the death story on the front. It seems too terse to be an immediate relative. Of course the frequent occurrence childhood death may account for the unemotional comment.
