I grew up on Old Gun Rd for most of my life. We moved there in 1961. It backs up to Hinshaw Drive. I am so upset that a crime like this was in that area. I pray for the family involved and know that God will prepare a way for healing. My sincerest condolences.
For anyone out there who might be considering such a drastic course of action as this, please - think of your children or other family members and how they might be affected. There are other alternatives when life as it is becomes unbearable - counseling, separation, divorce (if necessary). Any of these are better than taking your own life or someone elses.
To quote the late George Harrison - “All Things Must Pass”...
I am praying for my neigbor and long time friend to pull through. She is a wonderful person and hoping for the best for them. This is a terrible event to come home and discover.
What a nightmare. Those poor kids. I hope they have close relatives who can look after them and begin what will be a lengthy healing process at the least.
