Tomorrow is Connor M’s memorial service. It’s been hard this week watching our community try to get their heads around the unthinkable …. . I was out of town all week . but I was able to watch folks integrating Connor’s death on Facebook… it reminded me how important and helpful\u00a0 I found social networking to be when Sam died.. Back then it was Myspace. Talkign to everyone on myspace is what inspired me to start this blog. .. I still have a record of everythign folks wrote.. I still have sam’s myspace page.. folks still post on it occasionally.. and they even send Sam messages there, still. I see them come in.. but I never read them.. I still view them as private.<\/p>\n

Here’s a memorial site that someone set up for Connor.. Kids are using it to share their feelings .. and comfort one another..
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ve noticed that as a sign of support,\u00a0 tons of kids at MMU have changed their FB profile picture to the purple rose picture from this site.. \"\"<\/p>\n

I even saw how the event got people thinking about us.. Here’s a hit profile of the night I blogged about Connor’s death..\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

I know it might sound strange to be thinking about this stuff now., but .. I’m really grateful that the community has a resource like Facebook to use in a time like this.\u00a0 I wonder if the creaters ever thoguht their software could help people so much in tough times ?<\/p>\n

nite all, nite Sam.. just checked your site<\/p>\n
