When horrible things happen to fierce people...

I saw the "breaking news" of this story a few days ago, but the details are so tragic...  And, it hits close to home for me...

Jennifer Hudson's mother and two other family members were shot and killed in their Southside Chicago home on Friday.  To make matters even worse, a young boy, Jennifer's nephew, has been missing since the family members were found dead.  There's currently an Amber Alert in Chicago (which I saw a few times on the high way driving back into the city today), and people are being asked to call 911 with any information.  Law enforcement is looking for a 1994 white Chevy Suburban with IL plates reading X584859.

What terrible news.  I just hope for the safe return of the boy...
