Good Morning Friends,
Before I announce the winner of the DL.ART THANKFUL THURSDAY #103 CHALLENGE.
I have some really sad, sad, sad news to share (at least from my perspective). As you know yesterday I made a sympathy card. Thinking I would add it to my stash, unfortunately I will need to send it. Two police officers in our city were shot and died yesterday. I knew both of them. One was a 28 year veteran ready to retire, leaving behind a wife a son and two daughters. The other a female officer leaving behind her partner and two small children she had been on for the SCPD for 10 years. If you are a person of prayer I would just ask that you keep their families in your thoughts and prayers. This is the first time since our city was incorporated in the late 1800's that a police officer has been killed in the line of duty.
We are a small community and this will create a huge impact. 3 schools are located in the area where the shooting occurred they were all locked down until the suspect was found (one was where I taught for many years) Many agencies have stepped in to help, because of protocol and many different types of investigation. If you are interested here is a link to the article and some videos.
