For the tragic senseless killing that occured last week at Platte Canyon High School. The sexual molestation or rape that happened too makes it just all the more ugly.
For this to happen at any of our schools is horrible, but to happen in this small community; it will never have the same feel as it used to have.
In past tragic stories related to school murders, it's always been students gone crazy, to know that this was a strange man that just walked into the school with guns, that he was allowed to walk through the hallways freely.
The community has been pulling together and supporting and talking with each other more, and hopefully the many counselors will be able to help the kids and families deal with this senseless killing. The last bonfire that took place at the Farmers Union Park, really had a healing feel to it. The sounds from the river and the bonfire crackling and just being together seemed to grow strength. This past week with our Aspen trees being in full color, it was as though nature had given Emily a beautiful bouquet.
Signs have been popping up everywhere on our roads as well. Emily Rest in Peace, You're in a Better Place, RIP, and the one posted above made by my very lovely friends.
