Oh, such sad news!! I feel like such sadness after readig this it is

simply indescribable. I WILL pray for the people whom are missing,

for their safe return and the people whom have gone home in such a

tragic way, may they find peace...I ask this in the name of The Great

Spirit, to guide them back home and humbly ask the brothers and

sisters of North Korea whom have gone home have their Higher Power

guide them on their journey.... LUNA
