Heartbreaking. These things are so hard to understand.

Locally, few months ago an 11 yr old boy, his father, grandfather, and a close uncle went out on the river for the night to celebrate the boy's 11th birthday. The boat capsized and they ALL drowned in the icy waters.

What a horrible thing. It would be so hard to make sense of such tragedy.
