Jamie,
OMG! I was up at 3:30am (pacific time) doing my normal insomnia thing and I heard this on the radio and thought I was going to be physically ill. Please, please tell your mom that I prayed so hard for the victims of this act of evil, both the deaths and the survivors. I am so happy that fate has spared her and I hope that she can recover both emotionally and physically with God speed. I truly believe that God (or what ever name you give him) gave us life and free will, and He cries when people chose evil.
My heart is full of prayers....
Elizabeth
