Angel Story: Gina O’Flaherty & Diana Fortune

I lost both of my sisters to domestic violence. Gina O’Flaherty died March 4, 2012. Diane Fortune died Sept. 25, 2013. Neither murderer was convicted of the crime they committed. The police failed to protect and serve. The court system failed my sisters and my family.
