Shooting at Va tech

Hope all of you fine people are ok and not affected by this tragedy. My prayers to those who are. Brian (lurker)

I know the parents, friends, family of all of these students will appreciate your prayers. I have been sitting here holding back tears fearing that some of my former students are among the students injured or killed. I just can't even imaging what all those involved are going through. My prayers are definitely with everyone at Virginia Tech. Hugs, Robin

You were the first one I was thinking about. We have had a few of these around here but 22 dead, holy man! This stuff just seems to get worse all along. Hope that you don't have any ties to anyone involved. If you do please know I am here if you need anything. Brian

I still cannot imagine what the friends and family of all of those students are going through. I am so saddened by yesterday's events that I feel almost guilty at my relief that none of my former students were harmed in any way. Thanks for your support as we Virginians go through such a trying time. With the help of the Lord above, we will all get through this. Thanks again! , Robin

Robin I am deeply saddened because one of my former students was killed. Please say a prayer for Nicole White's family. She was in my 2nd grade class at Carrolton Elementary. Raven

Brian, You are the sweetest for thinking of folks here. My younger 2 are in high school; my eldest son works in Jersey. My heart, my prayers goes out to VA tech. Jen

I think my power went out for a reason. If I had watched this story on the news I would be crying harder than I am. This is so tragic. We send our kids to school and assume that they are so safe. I pray that God is able to comfort the friends and family of the 22 killed. I will never understand how someone could be so cruel to other people. I'm still upset from hearing about the person who put the acid on the slide that the little boy got chemical burns on. We can not stop praying for the world that we live in. Necole

I've watched this all day in MI and feel so sad. I send out many blessings and thoughts of prayer for anyone affected by this horrid tragedy. My sincerest condolences from Michigan. God bless Stacey W

Prayers are going out to you all affected in one way or the other. My heart just aches for the students lost or hurt, and the parents of all the students that were hurt or killed. May the Lord give them all peace and comfort. Texas sends love and prayers. May the good Lord be with your state at this time. Hugs Donna

5 family members, including me, are Tech grads/attendees. I am still waiting to learn the identity of the German professor who was shot. I am praying it is not one of my old profs from my undergrad days. This is especially hard for me. The emergency helicopters couldn't airlift victims to hospitals yesterday, due to very high wind. This is what happened when Cody had her wreck. This is more senseless, though. I certainly do NOT want to minimize a terrible tragedy. (Wish Matt Lauer would stop calling The Drill Field, "The Quad". He hasn't been doing his homework.) What a sad, sad example of group karma. Lois
