Station Fire: Lives diminished

Mark Adam Fontaine, 22, died before he could achieve the goals he set for himself, but not before he could make a mark on the world, said his mother, Rosanna Fontaine.

"Nothing can diminish the horror of that night. Until the day I die, I will continue to live it," she said.

She talked for several minutes about the impact her son's death has had on her and her family. Her daughter, Melanie, was injured in the fire. Melanie Fontaine lost her fiance, John Longiaru.

As she concluded, Mrs. Fontaine told Judge Darigan what she thought of the plea agreement.

"I feel strongly the value of their lives (all of the fire victims) will be diminished when the court imposes the lenient sentence it has recommended."
