Extending my thoughts and prayers, my deepest sympathy for the loss of  loved ones,to everyone involved with this horrible tragedy at Virginia Tech on 4/16/2007. It has broken the hearts of many, it has stunned a nation. May God's grace and love, be with the families that have lost loved ones, and with the families that have loved ones with injuries. May God wrap His loving arms around each and everyone of you, and comfort you with His Everlasting Love during this difficult time. May God's love abound as each and everyone grieves in their own way, to find a way to cope with this senseless tragedy. May the memories of your loved ones live in all of our hearts, and be remembered as gifted, talented, brilliant young men and women, trying to make a difference in this world, the same as the faculty and staff members were doing. May God's presence help you during this time of healing, and remembrance. We are praying for you, and grieving with you.
