Murders in the Lakeside Area

I am not going to write for a few days. It is a silence to honor the lives of the people who were recently murdered here. It is a tragedy and I have no words to express my deep sadness. If you are interested, go to the Guadalajara Reporter site. It is all there on the front page. I pray for the families of these young people.

  1. The Oregonian ran a story about this incident - a co-worker brought it to my attention yesterday. The murders were so brutal. It's hard to comprehend that humans (in this case, un-humans) could be so cruel. My prayers are also with the families who have lost their loved ones. May they find peace in their memories.

  3. It is clearly evident now that Mexico is out of control and ordinary citizens are not safe. Lets be real this does not happen in Canada.Mexico is a beautiful country but living without fear is everyones right. so until the Mexican government gains control moving to Mexico is totally out of the question.

    1. Thank you for commenting. I hope things will get better. I understand your point of view. If I didn't already live here, I probably wouldn't move here, at least not at the moment. But I am here now. So looks like I will stay awhile longer and hope for the best. P

    1. Hi Mike, Thank you for writing. I don't talk to very many people so I can't give you a good answer. I have a few friends who have decided to leave the area. Last night I met a woman who recently arrived here and is planning on buying a house here. So, feelings are mixed. Anger, Sorrow, Fear, so many different feelings that people are going through here.
