My sympathy to all of Carolyn's and Fred's families. I graduated from KHS with both Fred and Carolyn. Carolyn and I have also been Tri-Delt sisters at UT. I don't drive, and I don't have anyone who can bring me Thursday night. May the Lord wrap his arms around all of you and keep you safe. Please know I am praying for you.
