Community Begins Healing Process
Pastor Derrek Balase of the Highland Park United Methodist Church in
Stillwater organized a candlelight vigil this evening. The gathering
celebrated the life of Cade Poulos who took his own life today inside
Stillwater Junior High School. Students, parents and community members
came together as they all struggled to understand. They shared
scriptures and prayers for the those still shaken by the event. Friends
of the Poulos family say Wednesday has been devastating.
An educational psychologist from OSU says as a parent Cade's death
affected her, just like it did many other parents. "My son knew him and
in Stillwater that's the way we are, everybody through one person or
another, we're all connected, Dr. Julie Koch said. It's those small
town connections that makes death like this one much more emotional for
everyone. "Kids are real resilient and I think as long as they have
each other and are able to socialize with each other, they will be
doing better than some of the adults will," Dr. Koch said. She said it
will take time, but the community will come together and heal.
