Balloon launch helps friends say farewell

Kendall Miller writes a message to Monica Rincon Dooley before hundreds of balloons are launched in her memory July 8 at Robbins Park. The launch was planned by friends of Monica, who had passed away two days earlier at age 49. The white ribbons tied around trees in town also are in her memory.
