"Grace through grief"...
...published by the Las Vegas Sun newspaper. There is so much more to this story than just the crime itself.
It's about faith, love, resilience.

I remember when it happened. The first news stories started out with: A schoolboy went to school Monday morning and told his teacher, "My mother and sister are dead".
After reading this story, it reminds me, that while I myself have turned away from organized religion, still for some people, and in a situation like this horrific one, their religion can be a bedrock for them.
