“I can still hear the pain in my Uncle Norman's voice when we spoke that Wednesday morning.”

“Altadena has a smell. I don’t smell jasmine anymore. I don’t hear crickets. I’m not fussing at the lizards trying to get into my house. I miss them — but I didn’t like them.”

— LaToya Southern, grew up in Altadenaa

— Jamie Smith, longtime Altadena resident

"I have to start over again. There’s some beauty in it, but I’m being stretched. Life keeps coming—the stress of life keeps coming—all while you’re holding this bag."

— Edgar Johnson, longtime Altadena resident
