Monica, I did not know Emily or her family very well, although I am told that one of the father's brothers will be taking their son to live with him. He IS local. I understand that both families agreed that this would create the least unheavel in the son's life. We took up a collection here and the father's work is doing the same. The local news came here and also went to the father's workplace and did a special interest story appealing to the community for help. There has been an account set up at a local bank to accept donations on the son's behalf. Very sad indeed.
In 2008 another of our employees died leaving two young boys. The husband later committed suicide with drugs, as I recall, leaving the two boys with their grandmother. One is 18 and the other 15, and I was told last week that the grandmother's cancer has returned. Another very sad situation. Makes one wonder how people can make it without God, doesn't it?
