From Ginny Cain, Mark Cain's widow: "He was on a call job. He was asleep when they called him. I woke him up; he packed his lunch, kissed me and told me he loved me, and I didn't see him again." From the mother of Shannon Purvis, quoted in the Jackson Clarion Ledger soon after the wreck: "He loved the railroad," she said. "His life has been taken from him." From the Memorial Plaque: "We will never forget!" |
