It was a sad day today. A friend of Mary's, who she visited when home for Thanksgiving, was murdered by her boyfriend (whom Mary also knew) and he then committed suicide. I am so angry at the violence in the world, in our hearts, in our families. Mary has had to experience it twice - the first time when she was in 3rd grade.
I love you, Mary. I've left messages with all the bro and the sis's - we're all praying for you.
Love,
Mom

Mary - I'm going to write you here because you don't have a blog - Many prayers are needed, for the dead, the families and friends and our society as a whole.
There is no way we can make any sense of this - Mary, know there was nothing you could do to change this - however, I know this for sure - you made their short lives better - you made them smile and you gave them friendship. They are now in the hands of God - certainly a just and loving God who will hold them both close. Your friend must have been very depressed to have done this - a crime against someone he loved, a crime that touches everyone he loved.
This will change you and everyone else who knew these people. Even something this tragic can bring about something good in our lives. We can fight for medical treatment for mental illness, we can decide to live more peaceful lives, we can decide to make each day count, knowing full well we don't know how long we have on this Earth.
I send you all my love, sweetie and a big hug from Uncle Pat, too. Aunt ME
Mary I love you with all my heart
