Angelo Dies
Angelo C, was a good man that never did any harm. He died
yesterday in the shower over a severe asthma attack. The
entire school cried and prayed for their old friend Angelo.
They joined in a moment of silence at 2:55 pm to let Angelo
know that we care. He was a good kid that always made
people laugh. He never went a day without giving that
shining smile of his. The halls are quite, and the only thing
you can hear is God's breath joining us when we cry and
pray. I know that Angelo would not want us to cry for him but
nobody could help but be in histerics for their dear friend. We love him and we hope he is looking over us. He needs to
know that we care and that we love him. We all have made
posters and drawings that we hung around the school. We
miss him and we will never forget the smile he brought on
our faces. Hopefully Angelo will listen and know that we
care. The entire school misses his ocean blue eyes and his
sense of humor. His friends have decorated his locker with
their signitures and drawings. We love him more than any
thing in the entire world. His friend Regis was histerical
crying at lunch, and wants to let Angelo know that he loves
and misses him. ***We love You*** I knew and miss Angelo. I knew all his friends, and I hope he never forgets us.I love and miss him. I was crying when I heard the terrible news.

The Valley of Sorrow or My Life as a Well Digger
It felt like I had been run over by a freight train. I was stunned. I was in shock. I was crying hysterically. But it was really just a phone call. My dad called and said he had to talk to my husband Jerry. I knew it was bad because Jerry hates to talk on the phone so no one ever asks for Jerry unless something bad is going on. I knew some elderly family members and friends were sick, so I thought one had died. I was right someone had died. But it was not an elderly person or even a sick person. It was my sister April. She was 33, a college graduate, a non drinker, non smoker, no drugs - nothing - just a little over weight. She had been getting ready for a Sunday School party and simply dropped dead. It was probably a heart attack. And that was when the shadow of death passed over my life like a freight train. Suddenly, from the middle of bright sun shiny Good Friday, I was in the valley of Baca. At some time or another I had heard a sermon based on a verse from Psalms 84:6 on the subject of "when passing through the valley of Baca (sorrow) dig a well. I had suddenly become a "well digger".

It was not until the last guest left that night that she was able to utter her fears, "Oh, Alice, maybe I shouldn't have come." Then she fell apart in tears.

How To Heal Your Heart
We all experience severe heart break at some time in our lives. For many it happens in childhood or adolescence, the time when we are most vulnerable. A cold mother, an absent father, being different in any way from our peers and ostracized for it - these are some of the reasons for the early feeling that something is wrong, inadequate and utterly disappointing about us. For others, it happens later, when a spouse betrays our love and trust, a child is hurt, or our dream of making it big in the world is shattered.
