Globe editorial: Remember Rowan Ford

In an editorial just posted on its website, the Joplin Globe asks readers to remember nine-year-old murder victim Rowan Ford:

Rowan’s life — and her death — conjured images that can’t be forgotten, nor should they be forgotten.

There is now a brick bearing the girl’s name at the newly opened Veterans Memorial Park. She is the only non-veteran to have a brick in the park, according to Chuck Dalbom, a former principal of Triway Elementary School in Stella and the chairman of the Stella Veterans Memorial Committee.

We believe the honor is fitting.

Let’s not forget Rowan Ford.
