When Nancy and Richard were killed at such a young age, I saw how short life is.

How it can be taken from you at any minute.

And I thought, oh my God, I'm wasting this life that God gave me.

And what can I do with it?

What Jean and her sister Jennifer did was transformative.

You both changed your lives and your livelihood because of this and after this.

Both women began to work as outspoken advocates for gun control and against the death penalty by lobbying and speaking around the country about Nancy and Richard's story.

I have done a great deal of good work trying to change our violent culture and to help victims of violence.

You're right here.

Look at Nancy on the top of that pyramid.

Amazingly, both Gene and Jennifer had forgiven David Biro, even though he never admitted he was the killer.

Yeah, I think here's what my forgiveness was like.

It's like this.

I forgive you.

And now I'm wiping you off my hands like dirt.

It is not for you.

It's not about you.

It's for me.

I'm sad for him.

I'm sad for how cold and empty his life must have been.
