Thank you, Dog. I talked with Belinda about an hour ago. She is holding up as well as can be expected, given these horrible circumstances.
She is surrounded with FRiends and family, and is safe. Among other things, I told her that she has a lot of FReeper prayers out for her and her children and grandchildren.
B^U^M^P for inspiration and comfort for the losses of the CHIEF and BCM!
Luis Gonzales wrote his words for CHIEF Negotiator, but I read words which spoke of both of the CHIEF Negotiator and BCM -- and found comfort and relief in tears, in the words I found there from Luis and so many others.
