In the midst of unspeakable sorrow, they came together as a grieving community and offered their words of sadness on behalf of the Roberts family.
How can a person be so evil, so disturbed that he would pick on the most vulnerable?
It is staggering evil that reminds us that the only hope for this world is the reign of God.
