Death bringsawarenessto distracteddriving

Just as she has for the past sev-eral years, Karen Brezitski willorder a big bunch of orange bal-loons to celebrate her son’s birth-day this weekend. The bouquethas grown to 12, an even dozen tomark the day Owen Cole joinedhis two older sisters in this close-knit, loving Harrisburg family.
