In the words of our Dutch relatives regarding MH17:
“Can you imagine a whole country mourning? Yes of course you can, we came in October 2001, just weeks after 9/11, to visit and saw a whole country in shock.
Today the first 40 victims arrived by plane and were transported the last 60 miles in a convoy of 40 hearses. This was shown live on television and a lot of people gathered on the route. Very impressive and emotional, one of the victims is a women of nearly 50 years who was a member of our fraternity/sorority (we were mixed, boys and girls). She was flying with her husband and son.
The whole day there were no commercial breaks on television (a first for the Netherlands I believe).

One can only hope that the people who did this will see the mourning and understand the grief they caused.
No hate in the world is as strong as the love we have for each other…That is what the parents wrote whose children died.
So, love to you both!”

To our Dutch Family: Love to you all!
Nothing can take the pain away from the families of all the victims. Nothing can replace those lives lost. Nothing can eliminate the shock and horror that people around the world felt on hearing the news of what happened to those on flight MH17.
We can only hope that those who committed this atrocity will be brought to justice and made to pay for this crime against all of us!
