Ball letter: Judy and Laura Diaz

I am so impressed with Judy and Laura Diaz for deciding to become survivors instead of victims. They are willing to put their efforts into helping others not go through the experience that their family went through. No one should have to experience what their mother and her children went through for years.

I hope everyone will help them convince abused people (women, children and men) to have the courage to get help early in the cycle of abuse. I also want to thank them and the Idaho Statesman for sharing their mother with all of us. She was such blessing to many. The world would be a better place if there were more like her.

Mary Lynne Ball, Eagle
