“Remembering a young girl with hope and promise and missing the young woman and her family.... From her cousins ” - Kathleen Tuttle

“I never met you or your family, but I did see you in the DVD documentary of "Jonestown- The Life And Death Of Peoples Temple." I saw you and your 2 daughters being interviewed by Don Harris of NBC the morning you and your 2 daughters perished in Jonestown. Ironically, your daughters said they both liked living in Jonestown very much. You said that Jonestown was a really nice place and you were leaving yourself in a couple of weeks. I was only 12 years old in November of 1978. When I saw your 2 daughters and all those other children my age, they reminded me of the kids I went to school with. I thought that myself and my family could have suffered the same fate. God bless you and your family and all those who perished in Jonestown. They came to Guyana to help make the world a better place, and their lives were ended by a false messiah. 33 years after the tragedy, it still affects me as it did back when I was 12 years old. ” - Anonymous
