Honoring the Families and Victims of the Tucson AZ Tragedy

It's been a tough week for a lot of people.  Many folks I've come across have only one thing on their mind - a very heavy heart for the victims and their families.  How could we not have heavy hearts?  It's such a tragic situation that will have long lasting effects for many people.  I too have had a hard time staying focused on business today more so than yesterday.  Just is...I'm quite certain many others feel the same way. Very Saddened.

At 6:00 AZ time a memorial service will be held in Tucson for the victims and their family and friends.  We will all be watching and doing our best to move forward and put this horrible event behind us.  And - create something good from it all when we can.  Even thou most of us don't know the victims personally, it's like we've lost members of our community.  We've lost the innocence of a normal typical community.  Tucson is a great 'little' town with such wonderful down-to-earth people.  We've got family and friends that live there and they're all genuine folks that care and have big caring hearts. It's going to be tough for all of them for awhile. 

Please keep all these people in your thoughts and prayers.

They need us all to stay focused on them. 

I believe it makes a huge difference when a bigger community reaches out and
 takes a moment of silence, prayer or thought - throughout the day.

Most of the country is little towns just like Tucson. We are all neighbors and feel their sorrow.

It's so sad, Anna.  My heart breaks for the family of the little girl.  My husband and I were watching a news story this morning about one of the injured women.  She was the one who took the little girl to the rally with her.  I can't imagine the amount of guilt she must feel for it.  It's so senseless.  I was very happy to hear that the Westboro Church decided NOT to pickett the funeral.  That is so NOT the place to be picketting.

The events of last Saturday are heartbreaking, but the reactive press is disturbing.

 

I pray that calm heads prevail and that the survivors recover, both physically and mentally.

That is so true Steve, so true. 

Heather - me too.  I don't know how one gets through that - and the poor lady that she was with - ahhh my heart goes out to her.  As far as those crazy church people - the legilature passed emergncy law keeping thime at least 300 feet away. 

Gary - yes they need to stop and finally learn from their mistakes.  Keep on praying....they all need us.

I am praying for our entire country.  It's tragic for a political spin to be put on it.

Anna--I was surprised that something this tragic could happen in a community as wonderful as Tucson. If it can happen there, it can happen in anywhere. So senseless. I hope the prayer service can begin the healing process.

Stacia - they need us all...

Tammy - agreed

Teri - I'm sure it will take awhile for those close to the situation.  And it can happen anywhere ...

Jack - doubtful that they'll learn or change their ways.

Stacy - at least they have the countries support. It was quite an amazing memorial last night.  I think it was a good thing for the community and the state.

Despite our differences  and the aggressive rhetoric used by many prior to this sensless act of violence, the healing process may bring us closer together as a country.  It is unfortunate that innocent people have to pave the road for us.  Let their deaths and the pain felt by their families not be in vain.  Thanks, Anna.
