Oh, Molly, that is beyond sad! I am so sorry. You would think they would be safe, so close to home. And on their way to school! They were doing normal activities, behaving properly, were in the place where they should be as opposed to sneaking off somewhere for all kinds of mischief. My heart weaps for that family.
Bless you for being available for your friend. I know Mary will be missed. Your presence there in the time of need will minister and bring comfort more than any other action can. I’ll pray for your strength and compassion today.
It is times like this where we as friends feel we can be at our best!
You two are perfect examples; as well as all the fine folks that reside here.
