Just read your recent post. Love your message and delivery.

The tragedy in Colorado is so heart-breaking and brings back to my family the tragedy we experienced a little more than a year ago.

I am not sure I shared with you that my 26 year old nephew was murdered in a Tampa movie theatre parking lot on Memorial Day, one year ago. (I cannot share the details as some details are being withheld to protect the case. If you google Sean Buchanan + Tampa, or Sean Buchanan + one year ago the news stories should come up.)

My sisters and I can put ourselves in the shoes of the adult family members of the Colorado victims. We worry about the younger members of our family as they watch the sisters, brothers, and friends deal with the loss of the young victims. They are just beginning to move forward and harbor much fear and uncertainty. The family members in Colorado have a long road ahead of them. We are just a short distance ahead on the journey of grief.

Thank you for putting out a sensible message about gun control and the importance of holding our loved ones near. Life is so precious.

Good to be in touch. Please give my best to your family.

Betsy
