To the loved ones of the victims of Sandy Hook, There are millions of people in the world at this moment, that might never understand the hell you are experiencing right now. I understand that it will be rough, especially because you might have to spend a season of giving without the smile of the loved one you hold dear. Remember this: whether or not you believe in an afterlife, the loved one you have lost would find pain in watching you grieve through a season meant to celebrate. In honor of the one you have lost, celebrate life, instead of grieving on death. The death of a loved one is something I am familiar with, but a loss of the potential of a human life through premature death is a sting I have not felt. I ask you to bear with the happening's of life, and endeavor not to blame others for trying to claim they could understand how you feel to the same extent that you do, they only attempt to console you and tell you, you are not alone. And you aren't. With Love Ivan

Hello Survivors and Victims Resting In Heaven, What has happened is sick and disgusting. Know that all the people of Earth stand behind you in this, your time of need. The murderer will burn in the fires of Tartarus and justice will find you. Stay strong <33

Dear families and friends, Upon writing this letter, I barely know where to begin. I am completely dumbfounded at the tragedy that occurred, and am extremely beside myself. I first want to extend my sincerest condolences for your losses. I cannot fathom how many of you must feel right now. I realize I did not personally know anyone affected; but I think it is crucial that you know the entire nation is mourning your loved ones, your children, your friends. I know every single one of us in my area is sending prayers your way. I would love to merely claim that things will get better, but I know many of you do not feel like that is possible at the moment--for how can one simply heal? However, you need to look ahead. Continue living life with optimism and love. Although wounds may never fully heal, it will get easier. This horrific and tragic incident is no reason to give up on life. You and everyone that was affected must stand up and show all the twisted people in the world what strength truly is. You are all an inspiration to all citizens of this nation. Again, I would like to express my dearest apologies and condolences. I will still continue to pray for you and your loved ones. May you find light at the end of the tunnel, JL

I'm so sorry for this tragedy that has happened to all of the family and community members of the Sandy Hook shooting incident. As a student myself it really affected me personally in a way in which I now no longer take my parents for granted when they drop me off at school, and neither do they. We have realized that every moment is precious and that nothing should be taken for granted. I pray that God will reach out to the families of the shootings and that God will also help more people like Adam Lanza. Jessica, 10th grade

It's such a shame there are such terrible people in the world. But I know the small town of Sandy Hook will come together and stay strong. My heart goes out to all of you. "Can you hear the voice of the children? Softly pleading, for silence in their shattered world."

I know there is little I can do, but I plan in the near future to help this school by doing something. I dont know what yet. But something. No matter how hard I fail, I will help everyone in the world understand what this world has become. I understand how you may think that I wont do it, But i promise you I will. By starting off I everyday, I will write a Letter to this site, scam or not, telling someone or something on this site what I did to help the world. And Im going to end this with the example of This school. No one in the World deserves to have this happen to them. Especially not these Student and faculty members. I do apologize for what has happened. Expect A letter tomorrow :). ~Summer Rose~

I'm not even sure what to say. My thoughts are with you, as this is truly the most heartbreaking thing. My grandmother in Taiwan called my mother about what happened. The entire nation, even the entire world, is here to support you through this difficult time. Love will overcome hate.

Dear families of the victims, residents of Newtown, and anyone else affected, As hard as it may be, think of the good times you shared with those who were lost. Remember why you loved them, and why they loved you, and hold on to that. They may no longer be here physically, but no matter your faith, or lack thereof, realize that they will always be with you; they will be in your hearts and minds, in your thoughts, and in your dreams. They'll be there with you every step of the way, because their cheer and their passion have and will continue to make a permanent impact on your life, for the better. You are a happier person for having known them, lived with them, or raised them, and they most definitely would want to keep it that way.

Jaz

I wanted to post lyrics to Michael Jackson's You are Not Alone. These words really speak to those who have lost loved ones. Remember the Sandy Hook victims, they are not alone. Another day has gone I'm still all alone How could this be You're not here with me You never said goodbye Someone tell me why Did you have to go And leave my world so cold Everyday I sit and ask myself How did love slip away Something whispers in my ear and says That you are not alone I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay But you are not alone I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart But you are not alone

Dear Sandy Hook, What happened to all those little kids was a tragedy. As a teen, I do not know the feeling of losing a kid, but according to my mom, the feeling is unimaginable. To all the families who lost a loved on on that terrible day: it can only go up from here! Just know that wherever they may be, they are in good hands. Lots of love, Emma

Dear residents of Newtown, I wish that someone had the perfect words to remedy the heartache that your town must be going through, but I don't think they exist. While there may be no solution or answers to this senseless tragedy, I hope that there is comfort in knowing that those who were lost are now at peace and will never be harmed again. They will never be forgotten, and I pray that the support from people all around the world will help your town heal.
