I know that it is always so terrible to lose a loved one, especially in such a tragic way, and in a school, a sanctuary of learning, a safe haven. I just want you all to know that I will be praying for you. 

Remember that the children and the adults killed during the shooting are still with you, even though you can't see them. They are watching over you. Don't be afraid to talk to them sometimes. I'm sure they can hear you.

Please, if any of you feel you cannot deal with this, talk to someone, and know that so many people are praying for you. My heart goes out to you all during this terrible time.
