Thanks to my Baytown family for support after tragedy
A heartfelt thanks to my aunts and mother in Baytown for turning a crisis into a rescue. When a friend died in a car crash, they helped finish a funeral movie on DVD and distributed copies late at night. Their selfless work kept the ceremony from flaring into upheaval, reminding me how special they are.
