Prayers going out to the Havilands. NOBODY deserves to go through what they have.

How tragic. Prayers go out for them.

Oh, those poor people.

Mr. Haviland got a email from his niece last night. He says that they are very proud of her. How very sad.

oh good Lord
reading that just made me lose all the composure I've been trying to keep.
Didn't see the news this morning. Had to take our 17 yr old cat in to be put down. That was tough enough, but to come home only to see this...


Just heard on the news right now that the President will be addressing the nation in about 5 minutes. An awful lot of weight has been placed on his shoulders, but right now I cannot imagine any one else more capable of handling it.
