<p>yes, very sad.</p>
<p>John Servati died a hero. Held up a concrete wall long enough for his girlfriend to get out from under it before it collapsed again on him.
8:27 AM - 29 Apr 2014</p>
<p>This is such a terrible tragedy. My prayers go out to all his family and friends.</p>
<p>So very sad. I feel for his family and friends… I just can’t imagine.
:(</p>
<p>Absolutely heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.</p>
<p>As I sat amongst the students that evening, I hoped and prayed that we would all be safe. For this one young man, that was not his fate. When I heard the news, I was heartbroken for his mother, his family, and his girlfriend. I hope and pray that they can find peace in the days and years to come. </p>
<p>Words escape me. What a terrible loss.</p>
