Family Vows to Pursue Tunnel
Victim's Dreams
By Maria Cramer, Boston.com
She had wanted to build a house
with her husband, to fix up her
mother's home in Costa Rica, to
bring a son to the United States
so he could study, and to help
her daughter, Raquel Ibarra
Mora, open an ice cream shop.
When the 38-year-old mother of
three was killed in the Big Dig
tunnel ceiling collapse on July
10, her husband, Angel, who was
with her when she died, said he
vowed to make those dreams come
true.
If the family wins a wrongful
death lawsuit filed Tuesday
against the nine companies and
the Massachusetts Turnpike
Authority, Angel Del Valle said
yesterday that much of the money
would go to fulfill his wife's
plans.
But Del Valle, 46, who wept
during a press conference, said
the goal of the lawsuit is not
to receive a large award, but to
hold accountable the
organizations that he and his
stepdaughter say are responsible
for Milena Del Valle's death.
``Many people are thinking about
money," he said. ``I don't care
at all . . . We want justice."
