I cry everyday when the faces of those beautiful angels come to mind.  The only thing that comforts me is knowing that they are now safe and sound, in the hands of our Heavenly Father.  My thoughts and prayers continue to be with thier families.

Dear Families and Friends, 
    Although I know none of the pain you are feeling, I believe that the lives of each and every child and teacher will never be forgotten and that they're lives will be held precious to not only your family but to all who heard, witnessed, and knew. Please be strong and know that you and all who perished are supported and loved.

Thank You for staying strong through this process, I know it is a devastating one to overcome, but I think that if you have will power, you will overcome the grief. For those of you who knew the victims personally, I can understand your emotions, but for the millions of us who don't, we are feeling almost as sad.

May god enlighten your days for the next coming holidays,

Shan

Hey guys,
My name is Julia, and I'm a junior at Stuyvesant High School in New York City. I just wanted to let you know how proud I am of you all. I can't even begin to imagine how terrified you must have felt at the time of the event. Despite this, you pulled through it all. I wish I had your courage and determination as a 6-year old!
Keep your heads up guys! The entire world is rooting for you. 
:) I don't know if you've seen this yet, but have a duck song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtN1YnoL46Q. It always makes me happy when I'm down!

Have a wonderful, beautiful Christmas with your families. 
We love you.

Julia

I'm sorry for your loss. I know things will be hard but in the end everything will be okay. I send my condolences to the families that lost their children and mothers and to anyone who lost someone. You're in my prayers every day.

WE are all so sorry for your loss. Just a few days prior to the incident, our school had a lockdown drill and this felt like such a colossal coincidence.

I hope that all is well for you and that God holds you in his hands. Please remember that God is always there for you. There is always a reason behind everything. I want you to know that even though I have never met you, my heart goes out to you. Use all those pent up emotions to do something positive that will help this not occur again. My family and I would like you too be strong!!

Hey this Daniel Park and I just want to inform you guys that my prayers are out to the families out there who were affected by this tragic incident. Not only am I praying  but the entire nation is praying for the you guys. I know this is one of a  kind incident that will not be forgotten but you guys have to stay strong and keep moving forward. Seeing other people weep about this incident, it just really struck me what you guys must be going through. I have never faced this kind of incident but truly this will not be forgotten and most of the nation will be in your hearts!!! Probably for most of you it is hard to believe that Christ is there for us because of this incident but it was not Christ who planned this but instead it was the free will of Adam lanza. I pray to God that those who have passed away from this tragedy have been accepted to heaven . God Bless!!
From, Daniel Park

I cannot comprehend what has gone through my head in the past few days. Those killed by the shooting in Newton was a tragedy that should never be forgotten. I know that I can't even begin to think about how you feel at a time like this, but please know that you are love and that others really do care. Your lose will not go in vain. Please know that I, and others alike, are praying for you.

I don't know what to say. I can't say I understand exactly what you're going through, because I don't.
But I know what it feels like to lose someone you know, love, care about...
This is probably an unbearably difficult time for you right now, but I want you to know that you're not alone. There are thousands of people in this world who have lost a sibling, friend, child, relative, acquaintance, teacher, classmate...not in the same way as you have lost, but we know your pain. I am praying for all of you. Please know that God is reaching out to you right now, He loves you and wants your attention and love desperately. You may be feeling angry at Him right now, or upset or confused or frustrated...but know that He did not plan for this incident; He never wanted this to happen. But He gave men free will and certain men misuse this free will. Yet, we should still have a heart of forgiveness. We can't understand everything that happens, but the thing we can do is reach out to others. As others reach out to you, remember to reach out to each other and support one another in godly love.

Dearest Ones, 
I am a mother of two boys ages 4 and 6.  I cannot imagine life without either of them.  From the moment they were born, I've prayed that I would never know the pain of their loss.  This senseless act of violence against your children and the women of Sandy Hook has broken my heart beyond belief.  While I can't even fathom the pain you feel, I hope you can find some peace in knowing that many, many people around the world are loving you, mourning with you, praying for you, and holding you closely in our hearts.  I know that is but a small consolation compared to your loss, but for most of us, it is all we have to offer.  I know for myself, your children will live in my heart and memory forever.  I didn't know any of you before last Friday, and I'm sure I will never meet you in the future, but I can guarantee that for the rest of my life, I will not forget each of your loved ones.  I used to ponder who I wanted to meet first upon my arrival to Heaven.  I no longer have to wonder.  I want to meet Daniel, Olivia, Josephine, Ana, Dylan, Madeleine, Catherine, Chase, Jesse, James, Grace, Emilie, Jack, Noah, Caroline, Jessica, Avielle, Benjamin, Allison, Mary, Vicki, Anne, Lauren, Dawn, and Rachel.
