Oh, Cookin...welcome....we are so glad to have you here joining us!
I know what you mean when you say that Rita's posts make you cry. It breaks my heart but I am so thankful to her for sharing with us. We all tend to feel that it could so easily happen to our own mothers as well. Rita and her family have maintained such grace, dignity and composure through this terrible ordeal. Pat certainly raised truly devoted and caring children. They are truly so impressive and I am so thankful that we are able to reach out to them through Websleuths.
I still cannot get over the outrage I feel for whoever planned/carried out this horrible, disgusting thing. It infuriates me and I know they will pay....forever and ever.....absolute and total scum.
(Just typing/thinking about this raises my blood pressure.....)
