From the NY Times - The bedrooms left behind

I'm in tears after looking at these pictures. I can't believe how many quilts there are on the beds. Almost all of them has a hand made quilt. It tells me how much those young people were loved and missed and always will be. A quilter made the quilt personally for them.

How painful it must have been to keep those rooms like they were and allow photographers in the home to take pictures. Perhaps it helped the families to pay tribute to their fallen loved ones.

Thanks, Gretchen. It's so touching that someone thought of preserving the very rooms that were part of their lives for years.
