suffice it to say I still have not recovered from the shock. I find myself in one of those positions that maybe we have all found ourselves in sometimes, having some kind of a bad dream but you know it will all turn out right and you will wake up. I am asking myself, am I having a dream? Obviously, I am not. This is a terrible, terrible shock. I simply want to join the others in wishing the best to the family. Our prayers are with all of them during these very, very difficult times.
