What a tragedy. That's all I can really say without my eyes welting up with tears. My son is 7 in elementary school. I cant imagine the pain..... Dear God I pray for those families and those little innocent souls taken just before Christmas.

Prayers from NC!

x2 from nc

Thoughts & prayers from TX. Eyes of Texas are weeping!

A broken heart from Massachusetts

Hugging my babies tighter in NY and praying for all the families.

Me too.... Can't stop hugging my boys (7 and 3) and just realizing how precious their little lives are. What is this world coming to.... ...

Picked my 8 yo grandson up from school today . Took him to Micky D's and Christmas shopping and every time I looked at him I was so thankful to still have him and so heart broken for the family's that are not going to have their love ones come home today. I can't even imagine the pain they are going through. My heart would literally break.

Father God almighty may your love and mercy touch these families, may they be comforted in knowing millions of people are mourning for them and with them. Father please erase the horror these young children witnessed today and comfort them with the thought that their friends are now in a place of peace.

Lord we all need your help and wisdom on how to see that this never happens again.

We know to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die, a time to kill and a time to heal , a time to laugh and a time to grieve.Help us through these times Father.

In Jesus Name Amen

Death of a Child – Words of Sympathy

Sorry I didn’t get to stay.

To laugh and run and play.

To be there by your side.

I’m sorry that I had to die.

God sent me down to be with you,

to make your loving heart anew.

To help you look up and see

Both God and little me.

Mommy, I wish I could stay.

Just like I heard you pray.

But, all the angels did cry

when they told little me goodbye.

God didn’t take me cause He’s mad.

He didn’t send me to make you sad.

But to give us both a chance to be

a love so precious .. don’t you see?

Up here no trouble do I see

and the pretty angels sing to me.

The streets of gold is where I play

you’ll come here too, mommy, someday.

Until the day you join me here,

I’ll love you mommy, dear.

Each breeze you feel and see,

brings love and a kiss from me.

Being from Connecticut, it is so sad and as a nation we all morn together.

Prayers from CA as well. I couldn't have said it better myself Maddygram...

I'm a teacher and a mother of a 2 and 4 year old and it horrifies me to think someone could do that.
