Not upset that it was posted, Upset that I didn't know her well enough to know about her eternal destination. I joke about the Mayan apocolypse which I don't believe in, but I do believe in Heaven and Hell. And I do find the state of the world frightening...wars, rockets, this awful news, all of it.

Yes, Chris, thank you.

I was speechless, but not tearless last night.

Being ignorant of that area of the world I did some Googling.

There are (an average of) 44 murders per day in South Africa. 31.8 per 100,000 population.
By comparison the U.S. has 4.2 and the U.K. just 1.2.

It's a very dangerous place. And yet I don't think those numbers would have prevented Aithley from following her heart and going there.

I loved that Ahtrap remembered her "Rebmevon" post. There has been such an outpouring of love from all of you and SparkWorld.

So senseless and tragic.So wrong.

I really wasn't sure If I should post this information, as I knew it would be upsetting to some of our members. I also knew that those of us that had been in communication with her would wonder why she wasn't responding, I also knew that her family might be comforted by the many responses to the blog posting.... all so very sad... just keep this family in prayer.

Had to take a muscle relaxer just to sleep last night after reading this news. Our son was 22 when he was killed. For those who pray, we must pray for her family for a long time. I know something of the horror they feel.

Such sad, devastating news. She had such a wonderful sense of humour & 'joie de vivre'. And we had so little time to get to know her...but our lives were enriched by her.

Saw that, when I went to look why everyone was sending her goodies. Aithley was usually the one sending them out.The song "Afterimage" by Rush jumped into my head, what with the opening lyric, "Suddenly you were gone, from all the lives you left your mark upon..." She was on here just past a month, but Aithley certainly made a mark. Tragic, that this Rebmevon would be her last, she had much to give.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news .... on my Leader team they posted the death of one of our members.......I am so very sorry, it was a very sad situation.

Her Brother is monitoring her post right now and has posted a blog about it, I am copying her in case anyone wants to post. I'm sure he'd appreciate some kind words.
