Hey, folks. This isn't related to the BD or anyone in it except for me, but I wanted to share it with you in the hope that I could receive a little support in what is a very hard, terrible situation -- not just for myself, but for the families of my friends as well.
Today I learned that one of my coworkers and the sister of another coworker were murdered last night. Here's the news article from the local paper about it:
Man charged in double homicide
Sean and Lori were fairly typical in that they had experienced some stumbles in life, but at their cores were good, solid people who loved life and the people in their lives. They were friends of mine -- not the closest of friends, to be honest, but I knew each of them well enough and vice versa. They certainly didn't deserve what happened to them, and I sincerely hope they're happier wherever they are now.
This has hit everyone at my work very hard, myself included, as you can likely imagine ... so I just wanted to gather a bit of support that I could use, and maybe pass along in a show of solidarity in this time of grief.
May you both rest in peace, Sean and Lori. If you're reading, I'll do whatever I can to show my love and support for your families.
