Thanks Dave, (and I'm posting this to the list to thank all who have
expressed their sympathies)
It's always difficult to hear about young peoples lives ending so
prematurely, tragically, and most of all senselessly. It's especially
difficult when it happens so near.
With my oldest son off to college next year and my daughter getting her
drivers license two days ago. The thoughts of how difficult it is to
give them up to those inevitable life experiences and to let go of them
a little more each day, which we all have to do to reach our goal of
raising REAL people, certainly pales when compared to what the parents
of the shooting victims are going through.
Knowing that others care and are helping by the power of their thoughts
and prayers is comforting.
