I know today brings back the pain for those of you whose loss was so personal. My heart aches for each and every person who lost a loved one so needlessly. In addition we all lost our sense of security.

I remember Pet Talk that day, how we cried, worried, and dispared together. I remembered the hoping and the wait for some to be found alive, and yet that was not to be. Others who were worried about were heard from and were okay. Later we heard a first hand account from one of our own about how she walked home that day like so many thousands of others.
