It's been a hard week...

I haven't been on here much this week and I'm not sure if I'll have the time soon. Hopefully I will. General Bailey, my old ROTC teacher and my old boss at CCISD and my current boss at BMI, and his family are going through a very rough time. His daughter, Yolanda (39), was a victim of a murder-suicide, where her fiance shot her then took his own life 6-8 hours later. She left behind two children, a son who is 10 and a daughter who is 8. Luckily the kids were staying with their grandparents last weekend. I've spent the better part of the past week at their home helping as much as I can. I met Yogi a few times but never really got the chance to know her. After spending so much time with the family I know that her death is truly a loss. She was a wonderful person and had a huge heart.
