My mother-in-law told me that, when tragedies like these happened, she believes that God honestly needed them to work from a more important place. Just sucks she has to be taken from here. S.A.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for offering up prayers. We attended a Celebration of Life for Cass, yesterday. It was absolutely amazing. Her boyfriend, the one seriously injured, was allowed to leave the Boston Hospital to attend. He stood up and spoke - the best he could with a broken jaw. It was gut-wrenching, yet beautiful to watch the courage and strength. And then, Monica and Randy - Cass's parents - spoke at the end. Holy tears... Monica was amazingly strong, sharing her feelings of comfort this day gave to her. I can't tell you the respect I have for Monica and Randy as people, as parents, and as friends. My heart just breaks for them. S.A.
