Hugs for you, it's been a numbing day. Prayer on the way for your hairdresser and her mother; and for the mom who doesn't know where her daughter is.
mombonn, thank you, and thank heaven for Free Republic. This is truly a family. While it's been unfortunate that there have been some threads that have gotten nasty today, overall, the outpouring of love and support that can be found here every day among Freepers is wonderful.
My dear departed Mom used to tell me that events such as births, weddings, and deaths bring out the best in people and also the worst in people. We've sure run the gamut of emotion today.
