We got this news as it happened on the West Coast and I watched media coverage until the news conference and the confirmation that all had perished. I went to sleep in prayer and with a heavy heart for all those affected by the tragedy.

Yet there remains the hope of life beyond ‘this life’ that sometimes ends suddenly and too soon. We lift and hold the surviving families and friends up to a loving Father.
