Remembering a lost son on Mother's Day

Mother's Day this past weekend was a time for many moms and their kids to connect. But for Homer resident, Carol Dee, it was also a time to remember a loved one. Dee lost her youngest son, Pietro, on mother's day in 1995. She says one of her fondest memories was when the two of them worked together in a cannery in Valdez. She was 50-years-old and he was 18, and they had just moved from Italy to Alaska.

She holds an M.S. in journalism from the University of Southern California and a B.A. in women's studies from the University of Michigan.
