Those Who Were Killed
We come here to remember those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever. May all who leave here know the impact of violence. May this memorial offer comfort, strength, peace, hope and serenity.
Wanda Lee Howell
"Wanda Lee Howell always carried a Bible in her purse. "She told me God comes first," Melvin Howell said of his wife. "I was a little jealous about that because she told me I came second, but I said that it was all right." Just three weeks before the April 19 bombing, Wanda Lee Howell, 34, began teaching children in the America's Kids day-care center inthe Alfred P. Murrah Building. He said she talked with friends about how much she loved the day-care center because there were so many pretty children. She loved toread to them, Melvin Howell said. Howell has two daughters Tashanna, 14, and Latasha, 10. "I know she is looking down on us now," Melvin Howell said. "She was a wonderful wife. She is a part of me."
