We will continue to invent the future through our blood and tears and through all our sadness ... We will prevail ...
<ZT>
Life is but a stopping place
A pause in what’s to be
A resting place along the road
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant
to learn some things,
But never meant to stay…
Our destination is a place
Far greater than we know.
For some, the journey’s quicker,
For some the journey’s slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We’ll claim a great reward
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.
*************************************************
Remember that your loss is shared
by many friends who care and that you’re in our thoughts and hearts and in our every prayer. May the Lord who consoles the broken hearted, comfort you in this season of grief and loss.” this is to the family of those who lost there lives in monday tragedy. Though they May Be Gone, but they Will Never Be Forgotten.” May God’s Word Comfort and Uphold You the families, *Amen*

Thank you, God,
for ensuring the safety of my friends, and please continue to watch over them. Give them strength for the forth-coming days. Help them to garner some understanding in this senseless act. Be with the families and friends of the members of the Virginia Tech community that were senselessly taken from this world. Be with the injured and give the strength to recover and live in the face of the man that decided that today he would destroy lives forever. Be with the students on other campuses in Virginia and across the country that cannot be with their friends at Tech. Be with the families that will face a decision of whether to go or stay, and be with the families that don’t have that option. Be with the faculty and staff of Virginia Tech and the counselors that have to deal with the “why’s” that are sure to come. Give them guidance and words of wisdom. Finally be with the rest of the students that are left behind to deal with this tragedy and give them some insight into Your love, though right now it might seem hard for them to believe that. It is in the name of Your Son that I offer this prayer,
AMEN

God Bless Virginia Tech. Students across the country are mourning for you. Wherever we are from, whatever school we attend, we are all affected by this outrageous tragedy. College kids are college kids. Skipping class, staying up all night before a test, having fun with friends. Let us never again take these things, though seemingly monotonous or ordinary, for granted.
As this tragedy hit home it occurred to many of us that it could have been any campus. Any school. Any one of us.
Our generation. We mourn with you.
May God forever bless Virginia Tech.

As a university student at UNBC in Prince George, BC, Canada and a mother of 3, I want all to know at VaTech and their families that you are in my thoughts and prayers. i send my deepest sympathies to the Mothers and Fathers of all those that have been lost in this horrible tragedy; those that have been injuried and forever changed by this event. There are no words to express the sorrow you must be feeling but know that as you grieve your losses, the entire world grieves with you because it could have been our children,family members, friends that could have been taken from us so senselessly. A child is the gift that can really never be taken away because they are forever in your hearts and minds. the loss you are all feeling now, i hope will lessen in time because your loved one lives on in you and what rises from this tragedy. UNBC flyes their flags at half mast for your loss, we all grieve with you.

I am very passionate about my school, Virginia Tech. As most of you can see from the stories told by the people affected by this tragic event, I am not alone. The Hokie Nation has always been about a wonderful group of people from a wonderful place who all come together for a common goal. Although most of the time it is about athletics, the recent events have presented a new reason for the Hokie Nation to join together, and that is in support of the families and friends of the victims of the 04-16-07 shootings. Together we are all Hokies, and I am confident that Virginia Tech and Blacksburg will once again be the great school and the great Town that I have always been so passionate about.
Keep up all the support, We are Virginia Tech, We will prevail....

A todos los padres, hermanos, esposos(as), hijos, compañeros, amigos y profesores que han perdido un ser querido y a los que pudieron despertar de tan espantosa pesadilla, quiero que sepan que nos duele tal y como si lo estuvieramos viviendo en carne propia. Dios sabe el por qué, el cuando, el cómo y el dónde. El está a tu lado ofreciéndote consuelo, fortaleza y fe.

May God (most high, swt) hold all of us up and remove all sorrow, pain and feelings of helplessness. I pray that God (most high, swt) allows us to attain full knowledge of peace and prosperity, so that this knowledge would wrap around us like a warm secured blanket.
God willing, the parents of the shooters, the victims, and our society find peace within themselves, which ultimately can manifest peace in our world.
Peace (Salaam)

To the Virginia Tech students, parents, and professors, I send my deepest symphathies. Tears formed in my eyes while watching the events unfold at VT and I couldn’t help putting myself in your place - as grieving and shocked students, parents and families. Losing friends and children in college is too deep a wound to bear, so I pray that the Lord may uphold you and bring good out of evil in the coming days. I know He can.

A Prayer
Dear God,
Please be with those we have lost and the families they have come from. Please help us all overcome this tragedy. Lord in Heaven, help us not to be afraid of what may come in the future, and be with those who are grieving. Let us all know that You are there for us and that you will be with us and stay with us forever. Please let those who think they know what has happened but who have not experienced this know that they have no idea what others involved are going through. Dear God please remember that we love you and trust in You that you will help us in every way after this terrible tragedy.
In Your name we forever pray, Amen.
