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!"
