God offers unconditional love, forgiveness to all

There are many more questions than answers.

That’s the way it is with most tragedies but this one seemed even more perplexing, even more heart-rending.

A 54-year-old woman and her parents, aged 81 and 74, were found dead in a rural Nova Scotia home that had been destroyed by fire in mid-January.

A man who was the son and grandson of the victims was later charged with three counts of second-degree murder. The 30-year-old suspect, who lived with his grandparents, has been sent for a psychiatric evaluation.

The three funerals were held together at a little wooden United church in a rural community not far from where the victims were found. The triple funeral was fraught with sadness and despair for all who knew the victims and the suspect.
