I can’t even really contemplate how you must feel and without doubt no words I can say would really aid in coming to terms with what happened. However remember the good times and think about how she would have wanted you to have the strength to carry on with your life .

Thoughts are with you and your family, kiwigirl.

One of the two people we have been trying to find out about has been identified as being one of the bodies removed from the CTV building. We are still waiting for news of the other one person.

I am so sorry about your sister. My husband has just walked into the dining room where I am on the computer and asked why I am crying so much. You have my heartfelt sympathy.

My heart goes out to everyone who has lost someone dear to them. I have always tried to live my life to the full because you never know when its going to end but for it to end so tragically must be the worst thing in the world.

I hope there is some good news for you WP.

June
