"It was the glow of children allowed to be children - they worked hard but also got to play hard..."

Thanks dirtboy...that one sentence sums up so much of what makes this all the more tragic. A co-worker of mine lives about a mile from where this happened. He and I were pretty much in shock at what had happened; and certainly where. He often stops on his way to and from work taking digital photos of his traffic jams...they consist of herds of cows and sheep crossing the roads in Bart. He phoned me when he got home this afternoon, and needless to say the community is strong but shattered.

I looked for a while to find just the photo or portrait that would show those who may not know the Amish community; just the sheer innocence. The link under the photo has many more photos showing the Amish community. I have been close to tears many times today...words fail.

Thanks for your links, all. The pictures are an excellent testimony to the innocence and simplicity of Amish life.
