This just in from our affiliate in L.A.

Let us go there now

Are you there Linda Lieaday?



This is Linda Lieaday reporting for WPIX in LA,

We have information that a survivor

From the Love Boat disaster will land here

Today.



We will try to get a word with her and her family,

Here they come, keep that camera on me.

Misses Costickson, will you do,

Just a short interview?



Please, we have questions to ask,

I know it is a daunting task,

But America wants to know,

How you all are holding up,

As the story of your husband’s loss

Unfolds.



Please, Please step away,

My daughter-in-law will answer no questions today.

My son is not dead,

We refuse to believe all that is said.



We still feel him here with us,

We won’t believe the lies,

For it is in God we trust.



Now please,

We beg you,

Leave us alone,

All we want now,

Is to get home.



Thank you,

Now step aside,

Here is our cab,

Here is our ride.



There you have it Mitch,

It appears they are in denial,

They have such great faith through this trial.

But soon, they must face reality,

That her poor husband and their son,

Was lost at sea.



Back to you Mitch,

There will be more to this story,

So far untold,

We will be back as more of it unfolds,



Thank you Linda,

You are so right,

Thank you all for tuning in,

That is the news today,

You all have a good night.
