I am not sure any of you have been following the story of the pregnant teacher that went missing last Wednesday. Well, today, they have identified a charred body that was found on Monday.

She was a teacher that taught at our sons' school. It has been a tough day for me and I am sure, all the teachers at the school. I am actually fairly exhausted from all the crying I have been doing.

There is a real difference when you read about something like this and when you actually know the person.

OMG, Pat I am so sorry to hear that. Yes we hear about these things happening all the time but when it hits close to home, it really hurts.

Please accept my deepest sympathy as well as extending it to the entire school system.

I had not heard about it, but I am so sorry, it gives me chills thinking about it. How is your son doing with the sad news? It is hard to imagine such horrible things can happen in our hometowns.

Oh how awful! Too many bad things happen to people that we know! My prayers go out to this Ladies Family that they might be able to find some peace in all of this tragedy!

Thanks for all your kind words and thoughts. It was pretty quiet and somber today. There were 9 substitute teachers and they had a bunch of counselors available to anyone who needed it.

I tried to call my doctor to see if he was available, but he wasn't. Again, I went to work bawling.

Today, my five year old asked what "murder" was.

I guess what bothers me the most is that they were exposed to something as awful as this at such a young age. We are trying our best to not let them know how she died.

Thanks again.

Pat
