MADISON – Less than two years ago, Ginger Urbanik was planning a funeral for her only son after he was killed by a drunken driver who had veered into oncoming traffic. Now, still grieving one child, she's making the same arrangements for her daughter and granddaughter.

Twenty-seven-year-old Alyssa Ortman of Pennsylvania and her 5-year-old daughter, Khaleesi Fink, died Friday after a car crash on Highway 2 in Ashland that involved Senate Minority Leader Janet Bewley, a Democrat who represents northwestern Wisconsin.


It's the second time in as many years that Urbanik, 51, has lost a child in a violent car wreck miles away from her home in Clearfield, Pennsylvania. She told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel she doesn't expect the loss to feel real until her daughter and granddaughter's bodies return home.
