About me: I was attending St. Mary Magdalen in Hazel Park, Michigan and in the 5th grade when the fire occured at Our Lady of Angels. The image of 27 coffins lined up for a mass funeral service was forever etched into my childhood memory. That memory was recently resurrected when I read the book:" To Sleep With The Angels". For what little comfort it may bring, I promise to tell everyone that I meet about this devastating event: so that the victims and the suvivors will never be forgotten.
