WARWICK, N.Y. – On the first Mother's Day after her husband killed their two young children and then himself, several questions faced Zoey Mendoza: How do you survive a mother's worst nightmare? Eileen Blass, USA TODAY Zoey Mendoza Zimmerman sits on a bench inscribed with her daughter's name in her backyard. How do you be a mother to kids you can no longer hug or kiss? How do you endure a holiday that honors something so precious that was torn from you so suddenly? Mother's Day 2011 came six months after Zoey's husband picked up their kids early at day care, drove to his childhood home and shot each in the back of the head with his grandfather's rifle. In those days Zoey could not sit still or stop crying. She could neither work nor eat. A friend followed her around the house, spoon-feeding her broth.

"To me, it's come back to where it belongs," said Margaret Carroll, chairwoman of the town Historical Commission. "It's as close to Mrs. O'Gara as it can get." Donald Lamoureux, who lives in Cumberland, Rhode Island, but who grew up in Millville, spotted an envelope for sale on eBay,...

Among the signatories was Marc Benioff, the boss of US tech firm Salesforce, who subsequently...

Google has lost a Court of Appeal bid to stop consumers having the right to sue in the UK over alleged misuse of privacy settings.

Safari is a browser used on Apple computers, iPads and other devices while cookies are small text files stored by browsers which can record information about online activity, and help some online services work.
