<center>This website is being developed to keep alive the memory of
<p><b>Margo S. Prade, M.D.</b></center>
<p>a gifted young physician who was the mother of two young, talented girls,
daughter of a devoted mother, sister to five women and one man, aunt to
many nieces and nephews, doctor to more than 7,000 patients, and friend
to an entire community. Above is the epitaph developed by her loving family,
following the senseless, brutal murder which took her from us.
<p>Our goal is to have others appreciate who Dr. Prade was, be inspired
by her tireless energy and work for the improvement of health of others,
be encouraged to pursue and achieve life dreams in the same way that she
did, and mentor others as she did.
<p>We are creating an"electronic monument" for Dr. Margo S. Prade. This
is a website that will continue to grow and change across the years. Our
goal is to identify some of Dr. Prade's achievements, ambitions, and encouragements,
and to continue her life missions.

<p><a NAME="Raising Bereaved Grandchildren"></a>We need to remember that
the aftermath of the murder of a young mother includes the need for her
grieving mother to raise bereaved grandchildren. This formidable task is
shared by approximately 100,000 grandparents across the United States.
Some resources for grandparents raising their grandchildren include:

<p><a NAME="Victims Rights"></a>
<center><b>Victims Rights</b></center>
<p>There is a tendency to forget the human side of tragedy. When there
is a tragedy involving an important member of the community, it is often
accompanied by sensationalism which can result in a lot of pain for the
grieving family, their friends, and the community. And when the tragedy
involves the loss of a doctor, especially a family doctor, all of her patients
are harmed. Media rehashing and the rumor mill can be devastating to bereaved
families. For information on the rights of victims -- including the right
to privacy -- please contact the following organizations:
