The
overwhelming grief dealt to just one family prompted the Rev.
Steven Camp of St. William the Abbot Church in Seaford, L.I.,
to address a question he's been asked dozens of times since
the tragedy:
"Where
is God?"
"God
did not will this . . . It is the complete absence of the presence
of God that caused these acts to happen, and we are left to
bear the scars," Camp said.
Haskell's
other firefighter brother, Kenneth, said the family holds out
hope for finding their-still missing brother.
"I'm
sure we'll find Tommy. But I'm not concerned, because I know
Timmy's sitting by his side right now," he said.
