Karen, what a precious and loving message you have posted. I thank God for your wonderful ability with words at a time like this.

Hearing Sandra's voice this morning while Cheech and I were driving to Atlanta was a Godsend too. She helped me make it from Greenville to the SC/GA line...and I could have kept on talking with her until I got to Atlanta. I wish I could hear each of your voices, but I have sat here and read every loving post, and have received many, many wonderful emails from concerned friends.

Helen and I were where we needed to be tonight...at church. And the tears finally came for me and many others.

We all need people around us in times like this. I hope each of you has some outlet to be with others quietly, even if it is just contacting us through this board or through an email correspondence. This will haunt us all for the rest of our lives, I'm sure.

We continue to pray for our nation, our President, each of you, our dear friends and for all those whose friends and family didn't make it home.
