I just wrote my words of sympathy to the Hymes family. First the mother to cancer, now the beautiful daughter to a drunk driver. Life isn't fair. So, I opened up my book of "words" that I am collecting. If you know me at all, they are mostly words from songs. But I have read these words in many situations so once again, I read:

"There is hope in the midst of hopelessness. Death is not where we lose; the onset of hopelessness is the great defeater. So allow hope to rise up within you. And when it seems that hopefulness is the least appropriate response in this situation, let it rise up even more. Whisper your hope when you lie down at night; scream your hope when you wake in the morning.Live your hope as if it is the one and only thing that sustains you in this ravaged world. You will not be disappointed."

Here's to hope!!
