| About me: |
WHEN THE FIRE BROKE OUT, I WAS A SENIOR AT QUIGLEY SEMINARY. PRIESTS BEGAN LEAVING FOR THE SCHOOL AND MORGUE. AS A MEMBER OF THE "SCHOLA CANTORUM", A GROUP FROM THE CHOIR, I JOINED OTHERS, VIA BUS, TO SING AT THE MASS AT THE ARMORY. IT WAS THE MOST HEART-WRENCHING TIME OF MY LIFE. WE WERE NATURALLY INCLINED TO LOOK AT THE FAMILIES AND THE CASKETS OF THEIR BELOVED CHILDREN, THE PRIEST WHO LED US HAD TO CONTINUALLY TELL US NOT TO LOOK. WE WERE THERE TO SING, BUT WERE CAUGHT UP IN THESE TRAGIC MOMENTS. I'LL NEVER FORGET THOSE POOR, GRIEVING FAMILIES! TO THIS DAY, I REMEMBER ALL THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES AND THEIR LOVING FAMILIES. GOD BLESS THEM ALL!
