When two small caskets gradually descend into the ground Thursday in
Atlanta, it may begin to sink into their father's head that his
children are gone. It hasn't so far.
As Mark Edge has cried over them, he has felt their presence at his side.
Police recovered their
bodies in a Santa Ana, California, hotel room nearly two weeks ago.
Their mother poisoned them, authorities allege.
Jaelen was 13, Faith was 10.
A custody battle that
raged around them for years had just been settled. Edge was supposed to
be packing up their books and pencils back in Cobb County, Georgia,
making their breakfast, and getting them off to school about now.
