Need your help - not a chain letter

A friend of mine forwarded some disturbing news via Facebook. In the hopes of using social networking for some good, I'm posting this here.

Robyn Hertz, a young woman who has been diagnosed with a serious mental illness, is missing.
If you're from Montreal or Ottawa, please follow this link for further details:

Alternatively, paste the link to a blog, mailing list, or any medium that works for you to help spread the word. As I look outside at the frightening weather that's blanketed the entire region, I hope that anyone knows someone in either of these two cities and will take a quick moment to get them involved.

Please pray. And act, if you can.

I will pray that she will be found quickly, Carmi. I know that in your current weather, she cannot survive long.

There is now a description of what she looks like and what she was wearing.

I hope that she returns home safely. I am really nervous about this...scared for the family.

Let's hope that she happens upon some friend and they get her back to safety.

I am sending a prayer... I was looking at your weather forecast last night - certainly anyone would need to be inside somewhere to survive...hope she is found soon...
and prayers for those who are close to her...can't even begin to imagine

I'm praying very hard for Robyn Carmi. I don't know if you remember, but I went through this with my dad--with a bad outcome. I've posted this to my blog with her picture and the information from the Facebook page.
