Their 6-year-old daughter was dead, killed by the flu, but the worrying was just beginning
“When their daughter was diagnosed with severe autism, Heather and Brandon Murray realized they’d have to protect her in ways they hadn’t with their other two children. They never left her alone.

They stuck a sign onto the back of their car: ‘In an emergency situation, please be aware child may . . . have no awareness of danger.’”
