What a wonderful, uplifting speech she gave at the convocation memorial service at Va Taech the day after the shootings there.
She raised the spirits of both the students and the staff along with those of the world.
She gave hope to the hopeless of the world and raised every single person involved with Va Tech to the highest of all highs.
Va Tech is indeed lucky to have her as one of their professors.
I hope and pray that they all recover from this horrible tragedy and with staff like her, the students will prevail!
Go Hokies! Go Hokies!

Wow. Congratulations A. MacDonald you are now the poster boy/girl for the 'it is not my fault club'. He was 23, he had a brain, he was an adult. Everyone did what they could for him. Many people have horrendous childhoods, have many bad things that happen (and that they imagine happen) to them - some of them commit suicide - very few of them take people with them. How about we just balme it on him and quit dragging well meaning folks who did all they could through the mud?
