Photo from BBC.comThis morning we watched some of the funeral service on RAInews. It is so sad. My heart breaks for these people. Both the President and Prime Minister of Italy were there as well as many of the Council members. Everyone was crying, young and old. Prime Minister Berlusconi was comforting people.
289 people were found dead. The towns of L'Aquila and Onna are gone. The government is giving money to everyone to help with rents and bills.
Donations of clothing and esstentials are pouring in from all over Italy. Madonna has given $500,000. The U.S. government only $50,000 but they can give $900 million to Gaza. WTF!?!

How sad. Especially when natural events take out whole towns. All that history.
The injustice of it all makes me sick. 50 grand is chump change...
On a lighter note -- just wanted to stop by to wish you a Happy Easter too!
