Last Day of Summer in Georgetown, Texas
Overcome with grief from the beating death of her son Tillie Abell weeps while looking through pictures of her son, James Abell, 43, who was killed in a Mexico jail. Abell forgot he had a pistol in his car when crossing the Mexican border, a serious crime in Mexico. Coping has been difficult for Abell where she said she really didn't have a Thanksgiving or Christmas and wakes up frequently in the middle of the night because of the loss of her son. Abell said she was very close to her son where he would often give her tokens of appreciation and never missed her birthday where a card always arrived on the exact day. US authorities have begun warning Americans to be diligent crossing the Mexico border with guns or even ammunition which both carry serious penalties in Mexico. (New York Times)
