Friends are dead and kidnapped. Mom was supposed to be at that music festival volunteering but thankfully stayed stateside on a whim. Her friends are dead. 

Family and friends were called for reserves. 

This is personal and will take years to recover from 

Gotta be honest, I’m feeling disappointed more people I love are not standing up and unconditionally admonishing these evil and hateful attacks in public … my wife and her family (and the Jewish people) need sympathy and support, not silence. 

Sending love, prayers and solidarity in these heartbreaking times. 💔
