The fact that ROL has photographed minor children sobbing at their dad's funeral is just WRONG. None of us needed to invade their privacy. Their daddy shot himself. I am shocked there was no compassion for this kids.

smooch, your focus is so distorted, instead of just feeling sad for catherine bach. i only saw one child and it was ok with her in the pic. mostly they were of catherine bach. this reality is huge for them all and it is good they deal with it.

This is a tragedy. For Catherine and TWO very young daughters. I am sorry he was so troubled but even more sorry for those he left behind to try and sort this out. I will keep them in my prayers.
