What reasons did they give for offering forgiveness and reconciliation?
'I have to practice what I preach. I don't feel any bitterness towards them, really, truly, all I feel is . . . I feel sad
for the family.'(Gee Walker)
'I did say I forgive and I do still stand by that
because you have to. That's one of the things I was
raised on and what my mum taught me. I feel sorry for them because they didn't
know what they were doing, they don't understand the magnitude of what they've
done.'(Dominique Walker, Anthony's sister)
'Why live a life sentence? Hate killed my son, so why should I be a victim too? Not forgiving makes
you a victim and why should I be a victim? Anthony spent his life
forgiving. His life stood for peace, love and forgiveness and I brought
them up that way.' (Gee Walker, Anthony's mother)
