Well, I'm in tears here....a young man, former classmate and friend of my youngest son, was senselessly killed the other night....shot in a parking lot. I remember him, and my son, who emailed me this...

Chris was another trumpet player. He was old beyond his years. I remember being impressed by his sense of duty and altruism. He had a strong Christian faith, and organized the school's Bible study. He was the section leader of the trumpets in 1999-2000. He was somebody I always wished I had gotten to know better.

He was working in a bank, active in his church, & going to the local Univ....Please keep his family in your prayers....

Oh dear. How awful! Prayers for the family and of course you and yours. (((Molly)))

I have said it before and I say it again ...I can't understand why these things happen. Perhaps, someday I will.

My love to you, my friend.

Oh, dear, Molly. How tragic. There are no words when something like this happens. Devastating.

I came here to ask for prayers but will offer them instead.

Oh, Molly, I am so sorry! Of course I will offer prayers for him, and for his family. What sad times we live in, when such a promising young man can be taken by senseless violence.

I am sorry I didn't answer earlier; I have been gone all afternoon.

Prayers for God's peace that passes understanding for the family of the young man who was so senselessly murdered.
