My heart goes out to the West Virginia folks that suffered the recent tragedy. You are in my prayers and thoughts as you endear a very difficult time ahead. As you lay your husbands, brothers, sons and fathers to rest... the nation's heart goes out to you. We will support you and hold you up during this ordeal. Americans historically have always responded to tragic events. And they will again.

I found out about it when I turned on the car radio at 5:30 this morning and heard a lady absolutely screaming that she was going to sue the company. Perhaps she was in shock but she kept repeating those words. But what got me was the person talking to her was egging her on. Who did she blame.. what caused this? Was it an accident? Who did she lose. My gosh -- this was a time to leave the surviving family members alone to assimilate the tragedy. I felt like going through the radio my self and shaking the person and telling him... Leave her alone !!! she can't think right now...her husband is down there... Leave her alone with her grief.
Perhaps the interviewer got what he wanted because she was in shock but she resorted to saying over and over again, "they will pay :they will pay : they will pay: I will sue.them they will pay !" How disheartening ! discouraging.. when a person needs compassion the most the press won't give in an inch. Leave them alone! and leave everyone alone you hound.

On a personal note my mind went back when I was dealt a loss by losing a beloved family member through an accident, but forgiveness is all I could live with in the end. All that was left after the shock, denial, grief, and recovery were the memories. I want to tell you it is hard but you will be alright and hold on to your faith...above all, hold on to your faith.
Please accept my prayers in your time of grief and I pray for peace in your recovery. Keep the memories alive.!
