Don't raze Cole Hall for memorial

Destroying the hall (at Northern Illinois University) would not bring back the precious lives that were taken.

In my humble opinion, the memorial would serve only to remind us of the tragedy that occurred, not that we should forget.

The hall would serve as an inspiration to do the very best we can, to go out into the world and make a difference, to be aware of those around us and to be involved.

We are all children of God and responsible for one another. All are in my prayers.
