CHECK THE NEWSPAPER --

Is the Sunday Milwaukee Journal Sentinel still in your "READ ME" pile? Take a look at the Cue section. Denice Martin's article, "Words of Comfort," tells the story of three moms who lost their young sons and wrote about it to help others. The article is framed by photos of Keith Kelroy, Peter Walters and Kyle Wagner, and a bit of their moms' writing.   http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=587353
