Welcome to the global phenomenon, surviving the survivor,

where we bring you the best guests in all of true crime. Good evening everyone. Welcome. My name is Sarah Franco. I'm the CEO of

Jaffco, which is the facility that you are in. And it's my pleasure to welcome all of you. It has been said that each

of us will die two times. The first time is the moment that we take our last breath. The second time is the

final time that someone mentions our name.

With all of the love in this room and around the world for the entire Markel family,

for Phil and Shelley, and of course for Ruth, who's here with us tonight and the boys, and also for Danny,

of blessed, and the boys, and also for Danny, of Blessed Memory.

It's very likely that Danny's soul will live forever.

Jav goes honored to host tonight's program,

prospective on trial life, and to dedicate this program in loving memory of Dan Markill.

I know that you share with me in joining and sharing all of our love and

condolences to Danny's mom Ruth whom you meet shortly and is in such an inspiration to all of us and my

personal hero. Ruth connected with Javko because of our mission which is to

provide care, safety, and support to children and their families

within the Jewish community and beyond who are impacted by child abuse, neglect, trauma, or developmental disabilities, giving every child a place to belong.

This center that you are sitting in is the Jafco Children's Ability Center.

And right next door, even as we speak, we are providing support

to families raising children with autism

and other developmental disabilities.

There are children in the building enjoying programs and making friends

while their parents are enjoying a much needed break.
