JimmiJo Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/26/AR2007112602233.html Fans Congregate for a Vigil at Redskins Park 'We're All Here and We're Praying and We're Hoping' By Paul Tenorio Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, November 27, 2007; Page E07 Fans usually come to Redskins Park to celebrate the start of training camp, but last night, they gathered to hold a two-hour vigil for Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor, who was shot and critically injured at his Florida home early yesterday morning. Some fans wore Taylor replica jerseys or other Redskins regalia, others stood in business suits having driven straight from work to show support for Taylor, who was in critical condition in an intensive care unit at Jackson Memorial Hospital's trauma unit in Miami. "Everybody wanted to do something and didn't know what to do," said Christie Lopez, 32, of Ashburn, who helped organize the vigil. "So people started calling, [instant messaging], starting threads, asking what we can do. And then came the idea of a prayer vigil here at Redskins Park. . . . We're all here to show that we care."

In JC We Trust Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Thanks again JimmiJo. This just shows yet again how good people can be. We all have work or school tomorow, yet we cling to the T.V. or show support at Redskins Park to pray and hope to hear good news about our family member. Please keep fighting Sean.
