Reaction is testament to quality parenting
I just want comment on the grace and class of Garrard McClendon and his family in response to the murder of their parents. Within days of the murder and without the suspects having yet been apprehended, Garrard's composed expression of forgiveness to the murderers was a remarkable gesture.
His brother explaining that he was not yet ready to express forgiveness, resonated with the same class as Garrard. Not a hint of the rage that they both must surely have felt.
I can't imagine a finer testament to the character and loving parentage of their mother and father than these men embody. I know through them that their parents were truly great people.
