Also check out Lloyd Wolfe’s photos of a street memorial to Sandy Greene, and this Guest Column from J.L.M, who’s child’s father, Troy Monroe, was killed May 18 in Mount Vernon. She writes:
He was expecting his first daughter in July, and now that privilege has been taken away from him because someone shot him and left him to die. His family is devastated as no one should ever have to bury a son/brother/uncle/and father this early. Troy was a good man and very free spirited and didn’t deserve to leave the world like this.
