R.I.P. ladies.......wind river rez has been experiencing too many losses lately & it has been effecting everyone badly. Hoping that other nations could pray for us, especially the adolescents that lost their toooo young friends & are having a hard time coping especially that schools are not in session rite now...& pray that we can find some closure by figuring out more about what happened & place some responsibility on anyone involved...............
