Kathryn Barrett-Gaines wrote a sympathy message

“They are family to us. I am sad to hear this. We grew up two doors down from the McGroarty family in Brookland, NE Washington. I went to school with his son Emmett, from Kindergarten through high school. Mrs. McGroarty walked us to Kindergarten. We kids watched Sesame Street on the third floor of their house as Mrs. McG made cookies. Now all of us kids are orphans together.”
