Marcia-
I can't even begin to fully understand how traumatic that was for you, your family and your community.
Mine is a little story compared to that. My dear stepdaughter was going through a very hard time (bad choice in friends etc.) in high school and it was impacting us all. My church was having an auction and I made a wallhanging to donate. It really was comforting to be able to escape for a little while to work on it and gratifying when someone bought it.
