My First Visit to Westroads

Saturday morning I made my first trip back to Westroads after Wednesday's senseless tragedy. I was part of a cadre of American Red Cross staff and volunteers (from three chapters) who were there to provide coffee, comfort, and care to the staff and shoppers at the mall. To the left, is one of our volunteers, Sadie. Sadie was one of six trained therapy dogs that was at the mall day to reduce stress. Of course looking at an animal like Sadie is like looking through a window into the gentleness and innocence the world should be.



Within a half and hour, the entrance to Van Maur was covered in handmade paper snowflake tributes.
