    Hello all...

    I have been in contact with Droopy and she and her family are Oké, but quite shocked of course.
    She gave me permission to talk with your folks about this.

    They were vacationing in Oslo, but were out of the city proper when these terrible events occurred.

    I know that you folks must have been holding your breath about her and her family. Just know that they are safe and oké.

    Thanks Sjoerd for updating us. I just checked back on the news story after a couple of hours and just couldn't believe my eyes.

    Thank goodness for that!! I was getting worried after hearing of this tragic event as I knew she was on holiday there. I've been checking since it happened to see if there was a message from her. Many thanks for letting us know that she and her family are fine Sjoerd.

    Thanks Sjoerd for posting. I've borrowed a compi at our relatives'. We're on our way north. We're shaken and saddened by recent events and haven't managed to take it all in yet. All those young people! Our thoughts are with the victims' families. I'll get back to you once we're at home. It will still be a few days.

    Thank heavens y'all are safe! When it came on the news, the first thing in my mind was "Droopy!"
    This will be a hard time for your nation, but it may bring people together more.

    I didn't realize Droopy was on vacation there. She was the first thing I thought of when I heard the news. I'm glad she and her family are okay. It is so sad that others are not. Our prayers go out to the families, especially of those children.

    I didnt know Droopy was over there, but so glad she is safe. I knew we had some members over in Norway, but I thought it was Sjoerd ? [it sounds Scandanavian to me] . That is a horrible event.

    It has been the most awful series of events. So many deaths and so many of them little more than children. Just a huge tragedy. I am so glad you are safe Droopy, with your family and our thoughts are with you and the people of Norway at this saddest of times. xx
