The Todd family was remembered this weekend a year after Rodney Todd and his seven children died from carbon monoxide poisoning in Princess Anne.
There were close to two hundred people at the General James F. Fetterd Community Center in Denton Saturday night.
Tyisha Chambers, the mother of the children and Todd’s ex-wife, told the Salisbury Daily Times that the turnout was a show of love by the community.
On hand was Kirkland Hall, a community activist, who told the audience that as a result of the deaths there was legislation in Annapolis that would require carbon monoxide alarms in rental units.
The Todd family reportedly used a generated to keep warm after the electricity was cut off for non-payment.
The rental did not have a carbon monoxide detector.
