In the lingering aftermath of the tragic shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, where a 15-year-old student's actions claimed two precious lives and wounded six others, we find ourselves once again gathered at the altar of our collective grief.

A teacher who died in a Madison school shooting last week was remembered on Monday for being a dedicated wife, mother to three girls, and a devoted Christian. Erin West was from DeForest and was an in-house substitute teacher and substitute coordinator for the school.
