I'm an Atheist, so my post isn't gonna seem that heartfelt. Just hoping for peace for AJ's sisters and that justice prevails soon. From Canada

Our extended family hails from Switzerland (not sure if my OP which also mentioned Vancouver BC and Montreal, Canada was included in this tally).
Just wanted to chime in to say how tremendous it is to read the global warm wishes of prayer, love and support for "Our Girl."
No matter what your belief system may be, it is absolutely clear that She has made a difference to so many people - all around the world. She mattered.

Gone From My Sight
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone"
Gone where?
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"
And that is dying...
