Very OT--but prayers needed now! | Arthritis Information

 

Please, I know this is super off topic, but prayers can only help...

rocckyd2009-10-25 19:00:08OMG- I had not heard about this. Prayers going up. What is wrong with this world today! I heard this on the news today Rocckyd. My thoughts are with her family. VA tech sure has had some hard times lately. Don't worry about the OT, this is very important to get out.
I was very quickly transported into the parents shoes and lumped up.
If thoughts can bring a happy resolve to this then you have mine.
Sending prayers for Morgan and her family. There are so many conflicting reports.  She was so excited to see that concert, but she left before they came on.  One theory is that somebody slipped something into her drink-just a rumor.  Somebody texted her friends using her phone stating that she would get home another way.  That same phone was found in the parking lot with the battery missing.  She wasn't reported missing until the next afternoon.  So much time passed...Her parents don't blame the other girls at all.  When you are 20, you don't think anything can hurt you.  They attended different colleges and went back after the concert.  Good thoughts and prayers sent to Morgan and her family. Hoping for a great outcome.Prayers for answers and a safe return. I am sure this has taken a hard toll on her family and friends. I just read that she went outside during the concert and was denied reentry by arina policy. Maybe she went outside to make a call and could not get back in. That is just horrible. milly2009-10-25 23:09:44Thoughts and prayers for her friends and family, How terrible .I have been following this story on CNN every day and my prayers are being said for her and her family.Sending prayers to the family Sending my Prayer's for Morgan's safe return.....This girl, her family and those searching for her are added to my prayer list.a parents worse nightmare...I hope it ends well Metallical offers reward.

I add my voice of support for this lovely young woman, her family, those searching for her, and for you Rebecca for you kind, loving, and responsive heart.

When you teach for a period of time, you do lose former students due to illness and accidents.  It never gets easy, but there is at least an answer as to why someone is gone.  If you make a conncection with a kid, you often interact with them daily.  Especially in a middle or high school where they drop by when changing classes. My heart aches for her friends as well.  They were such a tight bunch-even keeping that closeness when attending different colleges.  The picture of those 8 girls sitting together at the vigil was heartbreaking. 

rocckyd2009-10-26 10:00:10My thoughts and prayers to you, Morgan, and her family. She is a beautiful young woman and we can only hope she will be found safe. Thank you for posting this - getting the word out on something like this any way we can is so important. So what if it is OT. We are here to help each other.oh my.. how sad ....  how scarey.....  how heartwrenching.. Bump Prayers going up, Rocky! Hope they find her well! http://www.readthehook.com/blog/index.php/2009/10/26/sad-days-harrington-family-coping-waiting/#Hi Rebecca, I saw this on the network news, I cannot imagine the pain this family must feel.  I am keeping them in my thoughts, as well as you. 

Waddie  This story is currently on Nancy Grace....I have been surprised not to see this story at all on my network news. I did go to one of your links and it's just heartbreaking. Such a beautiful girl...after all this time....I can only think the worst and my heart breaks for her family and friends. I haven't been on for a loooong time.  I was just checking in and saw this post.  This is close to my heart as my child is a freshman at Virginia Tech...a long way from home.  It is so very sad.  For those of you with no connection to Tech, it is such a beautiful place.  It's so hard to believe that they have been connected to such heartache.  LaThe connection was brought up right away.  Anytime somebody mentions Tech, there is a gut reaction.  Plus, the fact that it happened at a concert-a huge band.  Metallica is also well loved at Tech.  I am sure your child at Tech is familiar with the Beamer Bounce done to Enter Sandman at every game.  Metallica has stepped up to help with the reward.  The fact that her father is one of the heads of our local hospital system also helped the reward to become quite high.  These facts have all helped this story to gain national attention.  Her parents are very educated and well spoken.  They know that the media is their best friend at this point. I, in fact, have done the Beamer Bounce myself.  We went to homecoming a couple of weeks ago, and went to the game.  I'm such a bonehead, I never made the connection of Metallica and Tech.  It somehow makes it sadder.It is a terrible thing to be left wondering & I feel for her family & friends.
