It is almost certainly the one organization no one wants to join. And yet every year its ranks grow. Which makes what they do all the more important.
On Wednesday night, for our ‘Live From the Newsroom’ show, we will be honored to be joined by members of the Parents of Murdered Children chapter of Delaware County. Next week they will hold their annual vigil as part of their advocacy work for those who have lost loved ones to violence.
I will be joined by Sharon Conroy, one of the current leaders of the group, and Barb DiMario, the group’s founder. Both know all too well the horror of buring a child. Sharon’s son was beaten to death by a group of teens on a Center City SEPTA platform. Barb’s daughter was slain years ago.
We also will be joined by Delaware County District Attorney Jack Whelan, who will talk about his close interaction with the group.
If I had one wish, it would be to never have to do another story of a parent burying one of their children. I know that won’t happen.
What will happen is the crucial work Parents of Murdered Children do in these horrific cases.
Please join us Wednesday night at 7 on DelcoTimes.com for a very special look at a special group.
