0:08.6	Mr. Coburger?
0:09.8	Yes, we've heard from some of the families.
0:13.1	The families that we've heard from directly have all expressed thanks and support for the decision and feeling like maybe now they can start trying to move forward with their lives.
0:23.7	We are also aware that there are family members who are not happy with the decision,
0:29.0	don't agree with the decision, who have been voicing their feelings about that.
