My heart goes out to all those affected by the recent events in Crans-Montana.

While many of us were able to take some time off and recharge for what the new year brings, a devastating fire took the lives of so many young people during what should have been a night of celebration.

As a mother raising a teenager, I cannot imagine the pain of the families who lost a child. These were young people full of life, with everything ahead of them.

My thoughts are with everyone affected and with the community that is standing together during this difficult time.

A heartfelt thank you to the first responders, the everyday heroes who helped that night and in the days since, and all the medical teams caring for the injured.
