12:38 am
thank you for joining us on newsmaker sunday. this is how we saw the images four years ago this week. the horrible crash in the superstition mountains that claims the lives of six people on board including karen perry three children, morgan, logan and luke and her estranged husband, shawn perry. two others joseph hardy and joseph hardwick. as we see those images and see the charred area of the superstitions, the glorious superstitions where these six souls perished, i think the whole community felt this so profoundly on the eve of thanksgiving in 2011. four years later karen perry is still coming to terms with this and you can say a lot of things about the loss and the horrific heartache she has been through, but she is a survive.
12:39 am
week on newsmaker sunday. great to see you. you and i struck up afriendship throughout this you have been through a lot. karen has chronicles this through the book angels three, the karen perry story. i had no idea how much you had been through before all of this happened. two battles of cancer. infertility issues. a pretty hard scrabble childhood where you lost your sister at a been through a lot. do you ever wonder, karen, why me? >> of course i wondered why me. but i've had time now to reflect and to process and to turn that question into hopefully something beautiful that's come from tragedy. >> as you were going through
12:40 am
community profoundly felt your loss. >> right away. >> even in your grief you could feel or tell that the whole valley, the state, the country, the world, upon reading about this and seeing it, it just felt deeply moved by it. >> there is very little i remember about that year in fact, but i do right after the accident, the day after the accident, there were so many phone calls and so much outreach from everywhere. mail and calls and just people everywhere were reaching out to me. and it touched me very deeply. >> what you may not know about karen is her love of aviation
12:41 am
you a flight attendant with delta to this day. you never worry about it and you never worried about these kids and never worried about your kids flying as well. >> no, i never did. i never had any qualms whatsoever about them getting on an airplane. if anything, i was more afraid of them having a car accident or something like that. >> but one of your sons said something in the weeks leading up to that flight, didn >> yeah, he did. my eight-year-old son logan, a week before the accident we were at the stoplight and he reached over to hold my hand and he looked right at me in the eyes and he said, mother, if i die next week, does that mean you will still be my mother. i was stunned and i said of course, logan. i will always be your mother.
12:42 am
was really afraid to fly and you didn't know that. >> no. i didn't know that. >> there are so many ironies in all of this and crazy foreshadowing and things that happened in this entire story. four years later when you look back at that period, is it kind of a blank where you just emotionally almost checked out during that period can you not remember a lot of it? you said that a lot of that year is a think it was the 23rd of november. >> yes. it was and a lot of that year -- there are certain things that i do remember pretty clearly, but in general that year is pretty much gone in my memory. and i think that's the way we protect ourselves from pain. yeah, i don't remember much of it. >> you just yesterday hiked up there. >> i did. >> and you have done this now how many times?
12:43 am
there twice. >> tell me why that's so important to you. >> that's the sacred place for me because that's where my children perished. so to me that's like their grave site. so i go up there and i honor them and remember them and it's a place for me to go and reflect. it's a very beautiful place and a very peaceful place. very hard place >> it's a tough climb. >> you are sore today. >> i'm very sore. i'm very sore and i think every time i go up there i can almost hear my kids laughing and saying, look what we made mother do again. >> right. and interestingly enough you live with a glorious view of the superstitions. >> yeah. >> right out your windows in
12:44 am
long time. >> when you go up there now, i remember when we chatted maybe a year after the crash you had a bag of stuff. there were several just pieces that you found that were not recovered in the crash. do you still find things up there now? from the crash. >> i do. i do. every time giup there i -- i go up there i find something. and i have found some very interesting things that i've been down. >> and people leave you messages up there. messages for your children. >> yes. people have been so kind. there is a group -- and i didn't know it until yesterday, but there is a hiking group in arizona that left the crosses. there is a memorial of crosses
12:45 am
left that up there and i recently just googled a hiking group because i wanted to find people that would be interested in going up there and i just stumbled on this group. as it turns out they went up with us yesterday and one of the people in their group is the one that put that up. >> and you have a permanent memorial up there now too which i saw as it was -- it had been engraved but you hadn't put it up there yet. that went up two years ago. >> yes. >> tell me about the book and the journey of writing the book. first of all why did you want to write it. >> i wanted to write it for a couple of reasons. one of any parent who lost a child will understand i want my children to be remembered. and so it was a document for myself and for them that they would be remembered.
12:46 am
whole story i thought this is not a focus on tragedy. this is a story of hope and inspiration for people who have suffered a loss which is pretty much all of us. >> i think the universal feeling in this community is how can she hold it together because all of us who are parents don't know how you did it. how would you answer that question? your composure and grace in this remarkable. >> i think what kept me going number one was that the memory of my children and secondly my faith kept me moving forward. got me out of bed every day. and i started a non-profit that
12:47 am
underprivileged children. and we provide hot meals and structured activities and aquinas assisted therapy. and some of these children were children that my children went to school with. that was beauty that came out of tragedy. a couple of years of seeing these beautiful little people doing better and day and seeing the smiles on their faces and realizing that i still have a purpose even though i had a huge hole in my life and my life. >> no better way than to honor your children's memory by helping other kids. >> of course. >> when i look at the pictures of these kids they are beautiful but they had their challenges, particularly your youngest and oldest. let's start with morgan. she had some real profound medical issues, didn't she?
12:48 am
with epileptic seizures six weeks after she was born. and it was never conclusive as to why. the only answers we got was that it was non-genetic. she had a lot of struggles in her young life. she when through five brain surgeries and everything that morgan learned how to do was incredibly difficult to teac her. she just had profound difficulties with meeting her milestones and part of that was the medication that she took to subdue the seizures. they also unfortunately inteferred with her ability to learn. >> and then your middle child logan, everything good. he became your guardian in some respects, didn't he and he took that role.
12:49 am
had kind of -- he had some learning disabilities as well, right? >> he was diagnosed with autism. >> i was going say asperger's but autism. but a character of a kid. just a quirky fun kid. >> very much so. >> the life of the party. >> oh, yeah. >> and wickedly smart. >> yes, very smart. taught himself how to read and write when he was two. >> i read that and an incredibly smart kid who loved photography. would take hundreds of pictures of himself. and left me so many gifts of photos. >> i remember you telling me on your computer he would hijack your computer and take pictures of himself snapping away shots many of which you discovered after the crash that you were so thankful he had done this but at the time it was a bit of a
12:50 am
friends up, people on your phone, too. he was per conscious, right? >> absolute. >> that's a six-year-old. >> oh, yeah. a lot of fun. yeah, logan used to do it, too. he would dial people up and get me in trouble for some of his phone calls and i would get messages back from the parents saying, why don't you like lock him out of the phone and i would say he figured out if he dialed 911 he could get a outside line and then i found out the sheriff was showing up at my home at 2:00 in the morning so that wasn't good either. >> is it harder in some respects than it was even immediately afterwards? does some of this soak in actually as time goes on? or do you feel as if you're farther down the road than you
12:51 am
>> that's an interesting question because i feel maybe a little of both. to me the whole experience is still surreal to a certain extent even though i know that it happened. i mean even today -- and when i was going through the story with landen. >> the author. >> the author. we would get together once a week at starbucks and we would just go through experience experience. and he could bring up something about one of my children not being here any more and it was almost like i had just heard it for the first time and i would go what? they aren't here any more? i mean, i just have to keep hitting myself and saying -- it's so hard for me to accept and believe that they aren't here. >> you are so close to them in so many ways. they are always with you right out your window.
12:52 am
different ways, don't you? >> yes, i do. >> still. >> still. and i get a lot of signs from them. >> when you are traveling, you are a flight attendant with delta, do people coming out of phoenix recognize you? >> sometimes they do. yeah. >> and they don't know what to say. i'm sure a lot of them don't know what to say. we all felt that. >> yeah. sometimes they just hug me and say, you know, i kn are and i think the world of you it is touching that people recognize and remember. >> as we go to break, what did you learn about this community through all of this? >> what a wonderful community of people here. absolutely, john. really. really wonderful people. it touched me very deeply.
