SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Fifteen years after losing her only son to gun violence, Savannah mother Barbara O’Neal said she continues to turn her grief into action by supporting other parents who are also grieving. O’Neal, the founder of Mothers of Murdered Sons in Savannah, said she started the organization about seven months after her son, Alan Dwayne O’Neal, was killed in 2011. She said he was 20 years old. “He was always so happy,” O’Neal said.
