Sad

A woman disappeared earlier this month from the East Bay in Northern California. She's 35. Yesterday they found her body in a landfill near the home of her personal trainer. Apparently, when she showed up for a workout session, he killed her and dumped her body. Her family had traced her cell phone records to his apartment, and when police got there, they found blood and arrested him. Now she's dead, he's in jail, and her family will have to spend every Christmas for the rest of their lives remembering when and how she died.
It is just so sad. I wanted to write this down and put it out in the universe that people are thinking of her and her family. That we are sending our prayers out to them, and we know that in this "most wonderful time of the year," there is also great sadness.
For everyone who is struggling right now, know that you are not alone, and there are people thinking of you. For those of us lucky enough to be with the ones we love the most, can you spare a moment to think of those less fortunate? Or maybe a donation of time or money? Thanks to all, and God bless.

I agree, this is so sad! I can't imagine what the holidays must be like for her family.

And thanks for the reminder of all the folks who could use our help and good wishes.
