I deeply apologize for the tragic events today that have interrupted your evening. I will ensure that my husband receives a respectful burial, and at the stime..." A single tear slipped down Joyce's cheek as she continued, “I also ask everyone to stand against those who destroy families for their own selfish gain. Thank you."
