We just returned from Aruba on Tuesday and were there during this tragic event. We also stayed at the Holiday Inn. We met many of the young people and chaperones coming and going. They were always polite and friendly to us older adults. I commented to my husband that as a mother of a young child, i would hope that our child would be just as respectful to adults on a graduation trip with their peers. I hope that they find this young girl and bring her home safely. My herat and prayers go out to the family amd friends of this young girl. As a mother, I cannot begin to imagine what her family is going through, but understand that our prayers are with you.
