"FINAL FAREWELL" Genoveva Tart lost her husband and her young son, on their child's 2nd birthday, the day hurricane Katrina's vicious tidal surge slammed into their home. Akia Huddleston, Barbara Shepard, and Genoveva embrace as the bodies of Genoveva's husband, Sam, and 2-two-old son Mattie are lowered side by side into a cemetery surrounded by broken trees in Gulfport, Mississippi. Genoveva said she found her husband dead in their home; he drowned while trying to save Mattie from the rapidly rising tidal surge.
