On the recordSeptember 22, 2021
6 months ago today, we experienced a tragedy in my community of Boulder, Colorado. On a Monday afternoon in March, 10 lives were lost at our local King Soopers as a gunman opened fire on customers and employees. Ten lives were taken far too soon--daughters, sons, neighbors, spouses, coworkers, community members, each of whom left a profound impact on our community. While the national news may have moved on, for our community, for the families, friends, and neighbors, we are still grieving and still healing. May we continue to remember them. May we lift up their families and friends in our prayers and in our thoughts. In the words of Thomas Campbell: ``To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.'' Our community remains strong in the face of this senseless act of violence. In strength, in kindness, and in compassion, may we move forward. ____________________
