4,000 funerals
4,000 empty beds
4,000 vacant chairs at the table
4,000 voices silenced
8,000 mourning parents

The numbers grow higher each day

... my heart goes out to all those left behind.

I wish awareness would grow that Peace is a product of the heart and mind, not of the guns.

Love,

Thanks all.

I also think of the hundreds of thousands of others who have died.
