BATTLE GROUND, Wash. — Merlinda Sain remembers the last message she got from her 25-year-old son, Bryce. "He had sent me a text when he landed in Las Vegas, and he said, 'Just landed in Vegas, love you mom."
Following Bryce's unexpected death, Battle Ground mother Merlinda Sain wanted to connect with him again.  
She harnessed her grief to build a wind phone booth at her Battle Ground home as a place to remember her son and a resource where all are welcome.
