Sasha was Linda Saar's youngest daugter. When my son Sean and I arrived in Las Cruces Sasha was 5 and Sean was 7. They immediately bonded. They rode their bikes together, played together, got in trouble together and camped out in the living room with Sasha's older brother Jason. They became fast friends.

Sasha was a sweet little girl with a great sense of humour. I have an incredible amount of empathy for her father, Mark. He lost his two little girls in a moment of senselessness and I think of Mark often. He was very nice to Sean and I when we were in Las Cruces.

Sasha missed her eighth birthday by 29 days. Children ought not die and there is something inherently wrong with that. Seven year old little girls ought not die.
