Thanks for clearing that up! I was getting a little unnerved wondering what side of the family you might be on! (and of course if it was the Rocha's I'd be kicking myself if I had been insensitive - which comes natually at times.)

I think what I find most amazing are people who are indifferent. I have read statements like, "well, if this were a black woman, would it be given as much attention." Or have heard people say things like, "yeah, it's sad, but so are a lot of other things.....people are killed everyday....so, another person was killed." That type of thing. Those comments I don't understand. This woman was a human being who gave to others. Okay, maybe she's gotten more attention than others via the media, but maybe it's because, partly, she made people laugh...she was a giving person, from what it seems like. Those kind of people "matter more" than drug addicts, prostitutes, etc. A good person's loss is missed more than someone who does not contribute positively toward our society.
