Remembering the things that the children of Melissa and Mark Hortman suggested after their parents were killed in their home early morning June 14. It continues to be good advice.

Opinion: From tragedy, words of wisdom
Sophie and Colin Hortman remember their parents, Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman, as "the bright lights at the center of our lives." The couple was murdered in their home last weekend.
