I offer my sincere condolences to you and your families. I am very sorry to hear that such a violent crime could happen to innocent children. I am a child myself and I would not want to go through the same pain that you must be going through. I know that it is hard to loose a loved one. It is very hard and I know that you can get through it if I got through it. Eventhough it was 11 years ago I still think of my sisters death everyday and I know that I have gotten through the rough part. My prayers and hopes are with you and the rest of the people all over the country that have lost loved ones! I guess that some of you will be saying that I don't know what you are going through and I don't know what you are going through but I know that it is hard. Please just believe that you too can overcome the obstacles that stand in your way! I love you all and I pray that you get through this extremely painful time in your lives. You can do it!! Love you, Erica

I am thinking and praying for each and everyone who is involved in this situation. I am a school teacher myself and know how dear each student is and how important it is to have good relationships while in school for both the students and the teachers. Please do not give up hope on the school system. Let this make your relationships stronger both at school and at home. Let GOD guide you in all that you do. Start groups that will fight against this. Just know that there are prayers and church sermons going out for you guys all the way to Tennessee.I know that GOD will prevail and do a mighty work in your community through and beyond this trajedy. He will pretect and guide you in everything that you do, just put it ALL in his hands. Let GOD prevail and satan kicked out. You can do it. Keep the FAITH!!!!

"If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in Heaven." Matt 18:19 Please let us agree... Heavenly Father, We ask that you allow us to place all the pain, heartache and suffering from this horrible tragedy into your hands. It is too big for any of us to handle. We place it in your hands and ask you to erase this pain grief and heartache from every heart and render everyone peace that only you can give.We ask this in your name...Amen
Barbara, New York
One often can not find just the right words to say at a time like this. But perhaps it's not so much the words that are said, but the knowledge that others are feeling the sadness with you, that will help to provide you with a sense of support. A feeling that, as much as your daily pain must be dealt with alone, we are all saddened and shocked at what our world has become. I am a mother of two, and I find I can't even get angry with my children anymore. I realize I can no longer take for granted my moments with them. You are all in my prayers, continually. May God give you the strength and the faith needed to get you through this horror.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy for your loss of loved ones and offer thanks for those that survived. None of us can even begin to know what ya all have been going through since this awful tragedy happened. I do want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Keep God by yourside and you will be fine, although your loved ones suffered at the hands of these kids they are now in a much better place waiting to be reunited with you one day and that is something to look forward to. Take care dear people may your pain ease with time and you find some peace with what has happened.

As I look upon the face of my little baby daughter I wonder what the world will be like for her. I can not begin to imagine the pain your families are feeling. I can only hope that knowing there are people all over the world who are thinking and praying for you will give you some comfort at this very sad time.

My heart goes out to the families and victims of the shooting. As a mother, I do not know if I could survive the tragedy and sorrow of loosing a child. I pray for Dylan and Eric's parents as they deal with the loss of their children and the grief of knowing that their sons were the killers.

What has happened to your community is an awful tragedy, I pray for all of you every night. If I might say so though, the way you all have pulled together to get through this is amazing and insperational. I hope you all can find it in your hearts to forgive those responsible for this, and will be able to find your way through this to lead normal, happy, healthy lives.

My heart Stopped when I heard of what happened. I am grieveing for you and your families. I am praying daily for your healing and comfort. May Jesus be your comforter and may He lead you beyond your pain. Blessing of God to You
Anita in Kentucky
I am so sorry for your loss. I live about 9 miles from the front door of Heath High School and worked with many students that attended Heath so I have a small inkling of what you are going through, but no one could ever know your pain.
Gretchen - Iowa
When I heard of the tragedy, I was shocked, but it wasn't until I read the words of one of the parents that the full import of it hit me. No words will take away the pain, but when the first hard edge of grief passes (and it will - even though it's incomprehensible right now) I hope you take some comfort from the fact that millions around the world have been and will continue to be thinking of you. Even though it's an oft-repeated cliche', God has your children in his arms and you will see them again one day.
Kari Williams-13yrs old, Ohio,Clevland

You are in our thoughts and prayers. I am a teacher in a small rural area of North Carolina. My students and I have been concerned about the family and friends of the students at Columbine. We have talked about what happened and are trying to talk more about our feeling and to be empathetic of other people's feelings. We hope that our commitment to understanding and respecting other people will give you all some comfort.

To The Parents and Families- My deepest sympathy goes out to all the families who have had to endure such a senseless tragedy.I'm not a country music fan, but in the words of Jo Dee Messina " The devil's been so busy lately that even God must get the blues." God Bless you all.
Margaret, Virginia
Usually after this kind of school tradegy people tend to forget after awhile that there are problems raging in our schools. Well, after we have cryed an ocean full of tears I think that cities and states everywhere are going to start taking action to prevent these things from happening again. I have four children and feel your pain with you. May God bless you and give you strength to go on.
Deb , Pennsylvania
As a mother of a teenage boy, I am sending you my deepest sympathy and hope that in time your pain will ease. They will never be forgotten and hopefully we can learn how to love our children more and more everyday and be more a part of their lives. This tragedy shows that we never know when we kiss them good-bye in ther morning what will happen to them. They are all angels now and in time we will be with them. God bless.
Terri:Wisconsin
Dear Families; I not really sure how to express the grief I feel for you and your family and friends. I was deeply saddened to know that this awful thing has happened again. I could be one of my four children next time. I am sure you know that everyone around the world knows of you tragedy. No one can take away your pain, and no one really knows your pain. We can only hope that with time it will lessen. Our children are in Gods hands now, as we all are. But they suffer no more as we do each day here on Earth. I truely feel for each and everyone of you in Colorado and all over the world.
Connie Brantford On Canada
Even though I'm in a different Country your loss has touch us even up here. I have two teen-aged daughters and one that is pre-teen. My 15 year old daughter and I watched the Memorial Service on T.V. and we listened to how strong some of the victims beliefs were especially the young girl who professed her loyalty to God just before she died. My daughter said, "Mom, what a wonderful way to die, professing your love and belief in God, surely she is with God now." we then cried and hugged each other. Perhaps more people should hug their teens and cherish that they still have them. Again so sorry and you are in our prayers even in Canada.
Selina north carolina
I can't express how sorry I am about the loss of the teens in Colombine high. As I sat there watching the memorials on t.v. I cried. I realized that could have been me and my friends. I never would have imagined something this terrible come from somebody of that age. I am a teenager myself. I don't think I could live through my friends death or being there experianceing that tragedy. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families. a friend,selina
