There are no words to express how deeply saddened and horrified I am by this tragedy.  I hope that someday, somehow, you can all find peace.  I would gladly trade places with all of those beautiful people who passed away if it meant this had not happened.  The world is thinking of you, and though in light of this recent event many people are not focusing on what they should be - YOU - please rest assured that your loved ones did not die in vain.  It is my wish that the sacrifices these children and teachers made will somehow make our country and way of life safer.  I know these words don't mean much to you right now, and there's nothing I can say to ease your pain, but I hope that your community is there to help all of those affected in any way possible.  You are all in my thoughts, and though humanity can seem as though it is on a dark path, please know that even though I have never met you, I love you and your community and will never forget you.
