Their comments, especially the ones about all the joy having gone out of their lives even though they still had a daughter - and implying they had to replace their dead son with two babies - do seem rather dismissive of her or her own grief over the loss of her brother. I'm trying not to be judgmental, as I realize people respond different ways to grief, but when they cross the line into exploitation, my sympathy will dry up.

Two babies. It's almost like daddy had to have that son, isn't it?

I don't think you're being judgmental at all; hell, I'm being judgmental and I know how it feels!

We just made a decision early on not to let it destroy us; we thought it would reflect poorly on Drew's life.

The other offensive thing about this article is where it's published.

You know Kerry had something to do with this.
