The Sizemores, Florida From the first moment we heard of this tragedy, we have cried and prayed for everyone touched by this senseless act of violence. The pain on the faces of the children and families outside the school was devasting to us. We cannot even begin to imagine your feelings. No words will ever take away the pain, guilt, anger and million other emotions you are feeling. Please know that the world is grieving with you. Our 7 year old son, on hearing of the shooting, turned to us with tears running down his face and said, "I wish they had never invented guns or bombs." I wish there was no hate, that is the most destructive weapon. Octavia - Tennessee "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal" Keep looking to God for strength Michelle, Washington State Though you may never fully know or understand why, I wish you peace in this time of unimaginable pain. Seek not for blame, seek not for retribution, but seek comfort from those you love and strength in your faith. May your losses give way to nation-wide change, awakenings and learning. In sympathy Annelisa, Minnesota I am so sorry to hear about your tragic loss. I pray Jah touches your lives in warm ways to heal the pain which I know is overwhelming you at this time. This should have never happened and I know you're angry as well as sad. But never let anybody put fear in your hearts. Those ignorant kids who did this truly deserve to be punished severely, and I feel for you. Jah bless you continually and keep your head up. Sincerely, -Annelisa Dawn, MN May the wings of doves, wrap you in peace. May the spirit of the world give you strength to continue. May the hearts of those who have gone beat on in your memories.

Cyndi & Jody, Georgia We are so sorry for what has happened to your families and to your town, being parents of two yong boys we know the fears of everyday life. We never want our chldren to go through what your children had to and we never want your children to have to face something this terible again. Let's all work and pray together to fight the violence our chidren are subjected to and end the fears our little ones have aout even going to school.. This is not how its supposed to be. May God bless you all and end the nightmares soon. Kelly , Michigan We've cried a river of tears for your loss and yet that does not help. It is time to take a stand against violence. Say NO to violence and pornography on tv, in our childrens games, on the internet, and in our neighborhoods. Say YES to families, family time, and volunteering to spend time with children- yours or someone elses. Consider foster parenting, mentoring, and adoption. Tell our government it's time to provide major tax relief to parents willing to provide a stay at home parent household for their children. Caryl in California I can only say how heartfully sorry that I am for you loses. I will keep you in my prayers. Cindy, North Carolina There is little to say at a time like this, but please know that our thoughts and many prayers are with you all and remember that God is always next to us when we feel that we just can't hold on any longer. Bless you all and our children are now God's Angels helping to watch over us. Ann, New Jersey Please accept my heart-felt sympathy for your infinite losses. I have a teenager of my own and can't even begin to imagine your grief. My tears for you flow each day still, as I'm sure do many others; like a river ever connecting us through God's love. You will forever be remembered in my prayers. Janet/Washington As a mother of teenagers (one of them in high school), I can only imagine the incredible pain you must be experiencing. I know how devastated I would be by such a tragic experience, and again, am only able to imagine how this must be for you. However, I wanted to express my sincerest sympathy and compassion for the sad situation in which you now find yourselves. I wish there were profound words which I could offer to ease some of your pain, but the only thing I can think of is to tell you that if I were face to face with you I would have only a hug to offer. From all that I have seen and read about this tragedy, the common threads have been that your children were wonderful, special individuals who we will remember as heroes. Mine and my family's prayers are with you. To the family who experienced the loss of a husband, father and grandfather, I would, again, like to share my sincerest sympathy. Though all of you are suffering tremendously, you should know how inspirational Dave Sanders has been to us as parents, school staff (I am on staff at my daughter's highschool), and students. My son has said that should he find himself in circumstances like those at Columbine, he would would follow the example of Mr. Sanders and help others. He is almost 14 and has been deeply affected by the example of this selfless man. I am certain that it must be incredibly hard to see any good in this situation, but when the day comes that your grief subsides some, you can be very proud of a magnificent hero in your family. Carie, South Carolina You all stay in my thought and prayers. Perhaps there is comfort in knowing that your loved ones are in a far better place, and are doing God's work first hand! Know our country is standing behind you. Gwen - MS I have been praying that God will ease your pain and comfort you. It will take time but I will be thinking of you ever day. Cindi, Anchorage, AK As far away as Alaska, we are praying for the families of those students and teacher lost in last week's tragedy. May the cherished memories of your lost ones help you through this time of sorrow and may you know that the country is grieving with you. God bless you all. Delette NC Our hearts go out to all of you, especially Craig. Terri Kentucky Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Jeanie - Wheatridge Colo We are just so sad that there had to be this loss of life of these young kids. They did not deserve to die. I feel sorry for those Parents that lost there children. Our childern are not supose to die before we do. That is wrong. When we heard that one of the kind was handicaped we cryed. It is hard enough when the child is normal to have them die but it is even harder when they are handicaped. I would like to tell all the families /that when you start to think that It is really hard to just remember All the good times. All the love you all shared with each other. Think of the best think you ever did with each other. The good times not the bad. God will be there to help Let him in God loves you all. Sofia, AZ I would like to leave my sympathy for all of you! It is a tragic time in which we live. May the peace of Christ help you through this grieving time. My prayers are with you. Kathleen Florida Words can't express the grief we all feel for you. Most of us realize the same thing could happen in our communities. Something is horribly wrong with this world, and we hope and pray it can be detected and corrected (or destroyed) before it results in another senseless act of evil. God Bless You Betsy - Wisconsin I am so terribly sorry. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Donna, New Jersey I want to express my deepest sympathy to the families of the teens that were killed at Columbine High. Having a teen myself, I cannot say that I know how you are feeling, but I do understand your grief. I just hope that time makes your pain a little bit easier to bear and I want you to know that you are in my prayers. I always say that God takes people when they are at the point in their lives when they are the most like Him, and from what I've heard about the teens that were killed that was the truth. I just hope that believing that your loved ones are with Him now gives you some consolation. |
