Amy Joanne Loughner, mother of Tucson shooting suspect Jared Lee Loughner, works for Pima County as a manager at Agua Caliente Park.

A lot of people ask that we pray for Amy and her husband, Randy, Jared's father.

And the county's HR director, Gwyn Hatcher, who is fielding all calls on the subject, hasn't yet responded to our requests for comment.

Meantime, here's a presentation she did on the threat of exotic aquatic species in local ecosystems. And listen to her voicemail below.
