Sharon -- That sort of thing is wrenching enough toread or hear about. I cannot imagine having been a part of it, However, you would appear to be going through a bad case of the "would'a, could'a, should'a's". Second guessing yourself only adds to the "surviver's guilt" factor. It just makes you feel more rotten than you already do. given the situation (which you could not have known at the time) you did the best you could. Further, you were the only neighbor to take any action at all. It's a damned small consolation I'll admit, but somtimes the small consolations are all we have.

Take heart, you are surrounded by friends.
