I'm another reader who started to post a reply, and after several attempts couldn't think of anything to say.  I lost my best friend in a car accident when I was 14, and the pain of that moment can still knock me over almost 15 years later.  All my sympathy, prayers and thoughts are being sent to Loretta and her son, and all the teens and parents in this town dealing with the loss of these kids.

Lisa, your "interview with God" was sent to me at the right time as well, and there were many people in my office who appreciated it.  You never know how your actions, or postings, will affect others...
