A PRAYER FOR CHLOE

I want to applaud Capt. Kevin and Billie Lombardo for telling their heartbreaking story ("Tears for Chloe," March/April 2007 issue, cover story). As a father, I can't even imagine what they must be going through; yet, at the same time, they are still brave and unselfish enough to warn others of the dangers of accidental poisonings. I want them to know that their efforts are not in vain. My wife and I have taken their message to heart and placed our medications and toxic household items under lock and key. We will say a prayer for Chloe and the rest of the Lombardo family.

You always have good articles, but "Tears for Chloe" was especially well-written. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. I was practically sobbing in my office as I read it, which, of course, drew attention from my co-workers. They also read it. There was hardly a dry eye in the office that day. You took a tough, emotional subject and handled it well, while still getting an important safety message across. Thank you for such a personal, informative article.

I just got the March/April 2007 issue of Torch, and your cover story and photos - "Tears for Chloe" - were awesome! It's one of the most meaningful stories I've seen.
