TazmanianRhonda - great post and thank you for writing it. I caught a bit of the press conference today on the news and saw family members there who have interacted with us here, shared their pain but have also gone to great lengths to keep that interaction going no matter what the final result would be, and yes, maybe it still isn't over, but it certainly won't be for both families.
Ted and Julie, I feel for you both but hope today is the start of a recovery and perhaps a new journey and hope you keep in touch with us here. You both know how much love and concern has been sent your way from people here. To the Johnson family: this has to be utterly devastating and perhaps the recovery will take a different route. Please know that whatever the truth, people here will share that same aloha and do whatever they can to help you through such a terrible time.
I wish I could find better words, but I will be thinking of both families tonight and likely for many more nights to come.
And terracore - I think I understand how you feel, but this thread has enabled both families to connect with people here. I think you should be proud of it.
Edited to add: I think Rob should also be thanked for providing the forum and this thread in the first place. Without punaweb this couldn't have happened.
