We all need to pray for the family members of all that have been killed at Virginia Tech just over an hour ago.

It is so sad.

I have been watching this all morning and am praying for all involved from the families to those who are in service positions. It is a scary, scary thing.

It just makes me sick. I can't even imagine having a child in college and worrying about his/her life in class.
It's also why when I hear people say "everything happens for a reason", I cringe, I don't buy it for a second.

There are no words for a tragedy of this magnitude. Just prayers for the families

Prayers for the families and the community. 

It shocks me everytime this happens.  I too have a hard time understanding it too.  Happens for a reason? Yeah, there is no reason.  A friend of mine recently left the faculty there, and now they have to face the loss of friends and co-workers.  Such a waste.

May God Bless All The familes And Their Loved Ones

Such A Tragedy

The Lost You Now Have to Suffer, Is One That I 've Been Spared,

But Just The Very Thought Of It, Seems More Than I Could Bear,

I Will Not Pretend To Know The Pain Your Going Through,

I Cant Imagine What It's Like, To Be Walking In Your Shoes,

I can Only Share Your Grief, And Let You Know I Care.

Yes, this event is beyond comprehension. Prayers for all the many people affected.
Prayers for mental health everywhere.

Been following the news here in the UK.

So sad!

Difficult to comprehend.

Mind numbing.

Just can't imagine the pain those people are going through right now.

So sorry.

I am so annoyed by the media coverage of this devastating tragedy.  The tv reporters are bound and determined to lay the "blame" on the school administration.  The students who have been interviewed have been wise enough to not play the "blame game."  Good for them.  And of course, the gun law enthusiasts are having a field day.

What they should all be concentrating on is why this psychotic person caused this awful carnage, and how we can recognize and avoid future events.

Today my heart breaks for the families of the innocent victims.  I hope that someday they will find peace.
