After the tragedy Jesse Ryan was survived by his wife Erica Walsh. The year after and prior to their first season's match the New England Patriots held a moments silence before the game would commence honouring their fallen comrade. Erica Walsh performed a brief Eulogy for Jesse Ryan commemorating his life and of those who perished in the tragedy. She emphasised Jesse's forgiving nature and urged the crowds to remember that and to forgive because that is what Jesse Ryan would have wanted. As a result Tara in death was fortunate enough not to be vilified as much her counterparts had been.

Moving onwards with her life, widowed Erica Walsh completed her project four years later. Another four years afterward Science finally developed the cure for the Telekinetic Dominant Gene but not before the utter and complete destruction of the Town of Mill Hill Crossing in the American Midwest.

In 2013 Erica publish a book entitled "Carrie White and Annie Jenks : Victims or Villains" addressing issues which many tended to overlook as well as a factual account of both tragedies. She was very careful to write it from a neutral point of view and in the prologue made it very clear that it's purpose is not to take sides and to let readers make up their own mind with all the facts at hand. Amidst both criticism and appraisal it eventually became a bestseller the following year.

... with a scientific breakthrough in the suppression of the T.K. Gene perhaps we can look to a future when large scale tragedies such as Carrie White and Annie Jenks affair are brought to an end.

But for the surviving few who bore witnessed to these event, the tragedy will forever be carried with them. As I finish I cannot but ask if will we ever succeed in tackling the root causes which it is agreed played a definitive role in shaping the Carrie White and Annie Jenks Tragedies? and how long before we can adequately address the social issues such as school bullying, child abuse, ostracism and parental neglect which I am presently forced to conclude - if they had been absent in the cases of Carrie White and Annie Jenks, the resulting outcomes would have been prevented.

Though the possibility of a future "Carrie White" may be adverted should we nevertheless continue on our current path of indifference and ignorance towards the issues brought forwards, then we do so at our own peril.
