Sadness in my life

[msincredible]

Sorry to hear that terrible news.

Thank you all for your notes of support and love! They have had deep water certified divers but they can only make a dive per 12 hours and it is so dangerous for them. Today they plan to try sonar, kind of like an ultrasound where the sound waves bounce off things and give a picture. A couple of our relatives had to go back to work so returned home to Georgia and Nevada.

Tuckervill, they have actually explored that possibility but her shoes, purse, and car keys were on the boat still and it is a private dock, so the theory is still that she fell and hit her head. It is just not the kind of place where abduction would happen, I don't think. We had a boat there for years, until the kids all moved away, and there was hardly even a hint of crime or even a life jacket being stolen! They are not discounting anything, however.

The hard part is that it is the July 4th week and there is alot of boat traffic through the area. Everyone is praying that this ordeal is over soon. Who knows, though? Life goes on, but everyone at the marina knows the family as many of us have had, or have boats there. The son of the original owner is the owner now and knows our family well. It is very hard for him, too. He has done well ordering the camera and news people away from the family. It is just too hard right now.

Again, I do so appreciate all the kind notes. Bless you ALL. This is such a wonderful, supportive forum.

I'm so sorry to hear about you and your family's loss. I hope you can all have some closure soon with the sonar search. Take care of yourself.

My thoughts are with you and your family. I'm sorry you are going through such a terrible thing.

[AnnieBikes]

Well, they still have not found her body and tomorrow the family is having a memorial service. I think they need this closure but there won't be any until she is found and that may not happen. It is just a terrible situation all around.

Thanks for all your kind words. The TE family is so great, and friendly, and sympathetic. I appreciate you all more than you know.

I will pray for peace and healing for all of you, too, especially her son. What a devastating thing for a boy to endure.

Annie - I am so sorry! Tragedies like these are so hard to deal with. The not knowing is so tough.
