incomprehensible

Last night, after attending Courtney's viewing, a few of his classmates met to play basketball at the rec center. Mike Thomas, an alumni of the varsity basketball team who was playing college ball, was playing with his friends when he collapsed. He never woke up.

So, this is two wonderful and honorable young men from the same class taken from us in a week. Their classmates look stunned and cling like drowning swimmers when we hug them; we're not much better.

How do we comfort them when we are bereft ourselves??
