(Fort Dodge, Iowa-AP) -- Age and crowds kept an Iowa couple away from the dedication of the Oklahoma City National Memorial built on the site where their daughter died.

Helen and Lyle Froh say they get upset about their daughter Judy Fisher's death and don't like to be reminded of it. Helen says when you're 80, you don't like to be with all those people.

Fisher worked in the Housing and Urban Development office on the seventh floor of the Alfred P- Murrah Federal Building. Her parents didn't know she was definitely among the victims until May 1,1995. The bombing occurred on April 19th, 1995.

Fisher's five brothers and sisters attended the dedication of the memorial today, videotaping the ceremony for their parents.

The Frohs say they'll wait to see the chair etched with her name at the new memorial where the building once stood.
