Missing Kathleen

I received word last week that one of my on-line friends was missing. My first thought was that she was simply not answering e-mails or hadn't been communicating with anyone. Then I found out it was far more serious than that. Sheila "Kathleen" McBroom was really missing. Kathleen lives in Anchorage, Alaska and apparently never arrived for work on Monday. A few days later her truck was discovered, her wallet and cell phone still inside.

So the question remains, where is Kathleen? Her family has been frantic with worry, and I can't even imagine what they must be going through right now. Nothing about her disappearance seems to make sense. She had been looking forward to one of her daughters coming home for a visit and she seemed excited about what lies ahead for her.

Kathleen is such a positive, vibrant person that everyone who communicates with her has come to love her. Kathleen always has something positive to say about everyone and has always encouraged her friends in all of their endeavors. Now all of those friends are praying for her. We are praying for her safe return, and we are especially praying for her family in this difficult time. Hopefully they know that they aren't alone. We are all missing Kathleen.

Yes, it's very sad to think of Beany being lost, literally or figuratively. Her presence in Bloggyland has always been so special. I hope they find peace soon.

Traci, are you talking about So Thankful to be Mormon? What's going on?

Holy cow, I just went and read her blog. How freaky -- I hope they find her soon and that she's okay.

I do miss her too and pray that she is safe. I check daily for an update, let's stay positive.

Kathleen (Beany) is still missing and it makes me so sad. I am very much afraid that she is gone and it breaks my heart. I pray for her family that they may find some peace at this terrible time.

Also, I just wanted to drop and invite you to check out a new social network I created called Neighborhood and Friends. It's a great place for people to socialize who prefer a clean, safe, environment to keep current with family and friends, as well as to gain new friends. I hope you'll check it out and find me if you do! Thanks. No pressure, just issuing the invitation.
