We're okay

Dear friends,

I just wanted to post a quick message to let people know that Shelly and I are okay. Neither of us were on the bridge that collapsed in Minneapolis. Thank you for your calls of concern.

I would just like to share a portion of a prayer for those who lost their lives by this terrible accident:

...O my Lord! Purify them from trespasses, dispel their sorrows, and change their darkness into light. Cause them to enter the garden of happiness, cleanse them with the most pure water, and grant them to behold Thy splendors on the loftiest mount. -- 'Abdu'l-Baha
