Lucille Babbitt: We were feeling when we bought that place, we thought we would be there forever. This is it. This is our last move. We are going to be here. We are going to raise our family. We are going to live here and die here. It didn't work out.
But if this road is going to keep children safe, the trackers safe, the impact on us is minimal because we are getting older and
it worked out that it's going to be good for Howard because he does not have as much property to take care of. And you just
have to think, well, it's for the best. Even though it was very traumatic to begin with and I didn't think I was going to make it.
