I just wanted to extend my condolences to you, Bionca. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend and (given my personal beliefs) I'd like to believe she's in a better place now and finally at peace. So all of my prayers go out to her, her family, her friends and you.
And you're right about the violence that we all seem to get these days from all directions. Hopefully one day we'll realize as a thinking species how precious life actually is, and we'll stop so much of the nonsense that goes on about us and focus more on just being caring human beings for each other and even ourselves.
