Please pray for VA Tech

Dear Group,

Although this is not cancer related, I would like to ask for your prayers for those at Virginia Tech and all others involved in this tragedy.

Va Tech is two hours north of us. We have two staff children attending there, one teacher from last year who is a graduate assistant, and countless others from our community who attend there, as well as some of our students who have siblings there. Many of our staff are Virginia Tech graduates. So far we have had no reports of any of our immediate friends or family who were involved, and we are holding all in our prayers.

Thank you for your prayers.

Such Grief !

Thank you Sassy, for your note to the VA Tech family. We can not imagine the pain and anguish and grief for the family members of the victims as well as the entire Hokie Nation. Those who are directly connected, those who survived and those who will now assist with the grief stricken.....all need our powerful prayers. Have many friends there and many family members who are Va Tech Grads. This is so impossible to believe!!
Hugs, Bonnie

Prayers for God's Peace to surround all those affected.

Thank you for your prayers. Everyone we know is OK; unfortunately, everyone they know is not.

I can't even imagine what those family and friends are going through. Having 2 college students, it is hard to even comprehend! Prayers for family, friends, and our country.

Angry

Sad day for us...I felt so torn for the parents that have lost their children today.
I have a son who will be graduating in 5 weeks from college. When he came
home tonight to have dinner with us this eveing we just hugged him so
tightly and I was so grateful.

It reminds us how fragile we are.
Will keep all of them in my prayers tonight.
Jean
