tb2023 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 My heart hurts for these families and friends. I know no one will understand even if they have been through a similar situation (which I have) I pray for the siblings of the 2 students lost I know that you will be affected just as hard as your parents ( I lost my brother when I was 14) Never let anyone tell you the pain will go away it will not it will get easier though I promise. If you ever want to talk to someone PM me I don't know either family but I know God will bless you in this situation. My prayers are with you Link to post Share on other sites
Shannon Pell Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 That article is beautiful! I went to the Picketts Mill shelter a few hours ago to drop off some cookies for tomorrow. It was very very sad. The parking lot was almost full and there were lots of people. I did not know the families involved, but a parent should not have to burry their child, I am so sorry for the loss. God Bless. Link to post Share on other sites
