David spoke about what psychologists call the ‘complicated bereavement’ of his own father and grandmother, Hannah’s mother, Catherine. She experienced the trauma of a ‘reverse-order death’ but also lived to a very old age both in the shadow and light of her daughter. She never overcame the tragedy and Davis’s father too was deeply affected by his sister’s early and tragic death. The following poem was found in Hannah’s death cell after her execution:

One – two – three … eight feet long

Two strides across, the rest is dark…

Life is a fleeting question mark

One – two – three … maybe another week.

Or the next month may still find me here,

But death, I feel is very near.

I could have been 23 next July

I gambled on what mattered most, the dice were cast. I lost.
