It’s very sad and I’m very sorry it happened...but there’s been something like this reported nationally nearly every day recently for a reason. It sickens me as much as the actual crimes.

The Mom is still alive - she wasn’t home when it happened.

Dear God in heaven, how does anyone ever recover from such a horror. That poor woman. Words fail. God have mercy.

Ryan Peden, a classmate of the eldest daughter, who was 16, said she told him Friday night that her parents had gotten into a fight and her mother had left,some people refuse to be denied love turns to hate.

Unreal. I hope the mother manages to forgive herself because I have no doubt that she’s going to be blaming herself for it.

I am sure she will blame herself. Prayers for her, I can not imagine how she must feel.
