On site, the shock was still great for Alison Turner, who came to meditate for a brief moment on Saturday noon by placing a wreath of flowers on the balcony of the red brick house. I knew her children, her ex-spouse well, I knew her well tooshe says, her voice filled with sadness. I am speechless.

For three years, she took care of housekeeping at Alianka Royer. Alison Turner wanted to come to the site. It’s a thought for her, because I find it boring… a mother of three children, who are in mourning, the ex-spouse, her family… It’s heavy.

I hope she will be at peace up there, and that she will watch over her children and her family.
