Barry Lemoine: Today would have been my parents’ 69th wedding anniversary and is the first day without my sister, Cynthia Cindy Lemoine Knecht. Her life was taken from her in a brutal and tragic way. Solace comes from the joy she rediscovered in the past year and the love shown by so many. Please keep our family, especially my two nephews, in your hearts, as we cope with this unbelievable loss.
