7 of 12

"Wiping Away the Tears" Jerry Yanez reaches up to wipe a tear off of Judith Villavisencio Merino's cheek at Carmelina Merino's funeral, in Penipe, Ecuador, on August 20, 2006. Judith, Jerry's mom, is the daughter of Carmelina, 82, who died from breathing volcanic fumes when Tungurahua erupted sending lava through the village of Palictagua. The eruption killed 6 people and critically burned Judith's nephew, Frank Baus.
