A few weeks ago, a fundraiser was held for Sheryl Stack, widow of Joe Stack who crashed a plane into an office building in Austin, Texas, where IRS employee Vernon Hunter was killed. What makes this unusual was the participation of performers from the Greater Mount Zion Baptist Church where Hunter was a member.

“My heart grieves for the loss of life caused by my husband in the tragic events of Feb. 18, 2010,” Sheryl Stack said in her first public comments since the crash. “My prayers are continually with the widow and family of Vernon Hunter, and I pray also for Shane Hill and all the others who were injured and or traumatized by this catastrophe.”

Reaching across the pain and loss caused as a result of Joe Stack’s actions to help Sheryl Stack and her daughter show a great deal of compassion. Read more about this event in the statesman.com article.
