My heart sunk, and yet my hopes were raised...all at the same time.

Now - so many emotions going through my heart.....
 
Oh my God, no way. I'll be watching this closely. Thank you SO much for posting this, KG. Wow. I really am just hoping for some sort of closure.
 
Kitchen Guy Please keep us posted........................ Prayers are out there for her family...........
 
Oh, no! My heart dropped too. We all need to pray for her family right now.

Remember, right now, we know nothing.
 
If Paige is no longer alive (which I think is the case), then I pray the remains are hers. She deserves justice and having some physical evidence may be the break the authorities need. So, as morbid as it sounds, I am hoping she's been found.
 
Yes, but it still makes your heart skip a beat!Good point Kris.
 
Wow I was shocked and relieved all at the same time. If it is her, I hope everyone will feel a sense of closure.

How do you always know what's going on there KG? Are you related to the family? Just curious, because you've been so dedicated.

Thank you for sharing the breaking news.

I agree. It has to be so difficult for her family and friends to be in limbo all this time.

That has been running through my mind.

I agree. I'm on the breaking news email alert from the Rocky Mountain News and everytime I see an email from there, I'm hoping for some Paige-related news, even if it is that they've found some remains. This must be very fresh news because I haven't even gotten any other alerts. (KG is always on top of things!)
 
Thanks KG for being so dedicated to this. My prayers continue.
 
Thank you for the update, KG. Kris pretty much summed up my thoughts!

Prayers continuing for the entire family.

I've been taking lessons from Grande, but I've got a long way to go before I'm even close to being in his league!

That's exactly what I felt/thought when I read the headline.

A lot of us (thanks to KG) have been following this for some time...and we're all feeling the same way...

YES! Thanks KG!
 
Ditto to all of the above.Realistically, I have to think that Paige isn't alive. Especially when the alternatives include the possibility of forced confinement or worse. I hope, for her sake and that of her family, that this discovery can finally bring some evidence, as well as closure.
 
Thanks for the update KG! When I read this my heart as well dropped and hope was raised that we might have some closure for Paige's family. I think of a recent L&O episode that I saw where the criminal kept saying "no body, no crime". Hopefully for whoever this is there can be closure for their family!
 
My heart hurts.
 
each day when I light my candles for Paige, I pray that there is an answer for her children. Let's pray that this could get that answer...........oh, I hate this
 
Wow, I am just numb. Thanks for the update, KG. I feel just like everyone else described - hoping that this brings closure, but sad at what that may mean...(((HUGS))) to all of us. :(
 
Double Ditto Ann's post -

Prayers going out to her family, friends and everyone for closure......
 
Prayers for Paiges children, parents, brother, rescue searchers and friends.
She will always remain in our hearts but I agree this would bring some closure to those poor babies who must wonder every moment where she is, what she is doing and why she isn't home hugging them where she belongs.Hugs and Blessings to her family as they continue from here if it really is her remains.
 
My heart just stopped. WOW. We all need closure. Her family, her children need closure and part of me is hoping it is her so that we can lay her to rest.

Part of me is hoping for a miracle. ^j^ ^j^ ^j^
 
My heart hurts, I'm fighting tears, but I'm hopeful... because maybe this means Paige can come home.I just don't quite know what to think or feel or hope right now. I'm just praying.
 
I'm enough of a realist to know that any news is likely not to be good news.I'm enough of an optimist to hope that she'll show up in some hospital in Timbuktu with amnesia.

I second those feelings.
