Reflections
Another three year set on the parole hearings....thank you to all that assist our family in this ordeal which is now pulling the third generation of Sgt. Jim Severin's family in our never ending battle to keep these criminals jailed. My US Marine son, Dan attended this year. Thank you for keeping us in the family all these decades. We will never forget.
Your sacrifice will... Never Be Forgotten
My dear Uncle, Your life was cut short, however your memory will live on forever with those who loved you and miss you still today. You brought happiness and peace.
Dear Uncle Jim, Your path was peace. The family continues to honor your, and Tony Rizzato's memory - next week we'll again be protesting parole for one of your killers.
