Message: [QUOTE="bballbeadle, post: 5642562, member: 548"] I have a dear friend whose daughter was at VT during the shootings. One of her daughter’s best friends was killed. The stress and grief were terrible. My friend drove to Blacksburg and stayed in a house on campus that became the designated recovery house for students. She stayed there for a month, cooking and comforting the students. Later on she developed MS, which she feels was triggered by the shooting and aftermath. When I saw her last spring she wasn’t doing well. Seemed to have developed dementia. She is one of the kindest souls I’ve ever known. A running joke between us (which she never quite understood) was when she’d say, “Oh, Peggy, wouldn’t it be so much fun if you and I could go to a VT/SU game together?” And I would say, “NO! That would not be fun. Not fun!” She didn’t get it. At any rate, we MUST BEAT VT! [/QUOTE]
