Lighting a candle here in the countryside of CT in my Turtle Garden to remember the students and community of Columbine High School who suffered the passing of 13 students  beginning at 11:19 am due to the gunfire of two male teens, Klebold and Harris,  who then took their own lives shortly after noon.

I met a woman who had someone close to her have to flee for her safety after being beaten by a 'nice man who worked with many people'. That woman from the East Coast was visting people near Columbine High in the aftermath and was able to meet with one of the families.
