It looked like it had been dynamited. It will take a while to piece it all together.



Several of our friends have lost children in their teens that were in our daughter's class. I even played the music at one of their funerals. It was not an easy thing to be part of. Since they were both only children, the parents' lives were devastated. They remain good friends of ours. My wife lost her younger brother to brain cancer recently. Her mom has had cancer twice and survived it. My wife has had it once. We find out Monday if she has it again. Her mom was destroyed at losing her son, and that was with one child surviving, and plenty of time to say goodbye. I can't begin to imagine what it must be like to send a young school age kid off on a field trip only to hear that he or she met a violent end with no chance to take leave.
