When U.S. Customs agent Claude Medearis, 41, lost his life in the Oklahoma City bombing, Sharon Medearis lost a husband and Cathie Alaniz a father. Four years earlier, Alaniz's husband was killed in Operation Desert Storm. Claude Medearis' body was not recovered for nine days after the explosion. "Dad will come home, Mom," Alaniz told her mother. "I know God would not take both our husbands from us. It would not be fair."
