OKC bombing victim's sister finds peace in heaven belief
Oklahoma City. Violet Root from London Kentucky comforts herself with the belief that her brother Justes, a 54 year old Army veteran and federal employee, is in heaven as three more bodies are recovered from the federal building rubble. The dead include Christy Rosas and Virginia Thompson, all believed to be victims of the April 19 bombing. Authorities say the identities cannot be confirmed yet and expect no more bodies to be found. The death toll rises to 168 with over 500 injured. Governor Keating says the recoveries end a painful chapter and permission is given to bury the victims and honor them appropriately as the city heals.
