They say her name was Cassie.

They say the shooter asked her, "Do you believe in God?"

They say she said, "Yes."

They say there was no right answer. They are wrong.

The truth is the only answer.

He welcomed her into his arms only seconds after she made the confession and

In the remaining seconds or minutes you would normally spend reading this column, pick up a pen and paper and write a note to someone you love.

Someone who needs to hear what you need to say. Let it be the truth. Let it be from your heart. Life is too short to hesitate.
