She is inconsolable. This woman has not had an easy life, but has handled everything ever thrown at her. She's one of the strongest people I know. She is a detective on a local PD and was my best friend for many years. We drifted apart some after she got remarried to a very good man, but have always been close. She has been a major influence in both of my daughter's lives, too. My own wife lost it when she found out about this.
Oh man I am SO sorry to hear this awful news. Prayers for the Mother, and for the Father, too. He's got a rough road ahead too because of his choice at that moment. I have a daughter burried in Beaufort National Cemetary....it's not easy....GOD will carry them through.
