The pictures of Jean Bousquet and his 11 year old daughter were taken at the grave of Sgt. Sullivan against a blue sky just after a rain shower and a dark sky. He explained to his daughter that perhaps it was a sign from Sgt. Sullivan from heaven. First he welcomed them with a dark sky to symbolize all his emotion with rain tears. They had taken refuge in the cemetery chapel waiting for the end of the downpour. Later, the sky turned blue, perhaps symbolizing his joy to see a young 11 year old girl who came to thank him for his sacrifice and offer flowers that his memory should not be forgotten.
