The ten fatalities id’d from santa rosa yesterday were all seniors 60-90. It seems that most of the deaths were older folks who needed help. It all must have happened so fast. So terribly sad.

Click on the “RED” name Kai to link to a generosity fund to help the shepherds. (Since kym only wants a sensational story, and won’t allow comments with link, and doesn’t clearly day that there is a link in the article)

Your ethics are golden, Kym, and your goodness radiates through your words. Take heart!
That unfair criticism is based on personal assumptions far from reality.
