My condolences to you and the other members of your lovely city. I am sure it is a shock. No logical person could possibly blame the town for what happened. That boy is an evil person and he did an evil thing.
The only bit of consolation I can offer is that you know the little girl and the judge were received into the arms of our Savior and are now in the presence of God. This is a tragedy beyond speaking.
I forgot to add she had her first communion in the last year.
Monsignor said that Jesus said “Suffer the children to come unto me” and now she is with Him today. It was really sad as this is his 30th year anniversary at this parish.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you and I hope you have all the diet cokes you can drink today. I gave up caffeine and still long for my diet coke and diet Dr. Pepper. I am so sleepy lately, waiting for my adreniline to kick in.
