“Martha and I attended a candlelight vigil in Eatonville for Park Ranger Margaret Anderson this evening. It is sad, so very sad that this officer was killed by someone who’s name she didn’t even know, or who didn’t know her name. She was killed not because of who she was, but what she was. Our hearts and prayers are with her family. The only good I see in this is that “the Mountain” she loved took care of this sorry soul that took her life. God Bless and protect our soldiers, police officers, firefighters and EMTs that work to protect us and help us in our time of need.
