"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of 'disaster,' I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world." - Mr. Rogers One thing that has always been important to me to keep in mind if I can.... the people who help, the good-hearted people there are in this world. That helps me not to give up on a world that can hold such horrors. And it was such horror yesterday....so many horrible memories brought to the fore. Prayers for comfort for all those traumatized yesterday so horrifically, and prayers those babies and protectors taken from us are now safe in God's care.

My condolences to all the family and/or friends of the victims. I'm so sick of there being NEW MVS. But, as you say, Janet, thank God there's help for the new MVS! Thank God for this board, Parents of Murdered Children and ALL other individuals and groups who help MVS.

So sorry, sending my love and support to anyone bereaved by this tragedy. My heart goes out to all those whose loved ones were murdered, some so very young.

I definitely agree this tragedy hit too close to home yet again for me...anyone who has lost a loved one or friend to murder can relate to the memories of the horror it was to hear the news and live through it and try to put the pieces together to go forward. I feel so bad for the families that lost their loved ones like this and all the others in the world that have lost loved ones to this type of loss...it is the worst kind of loss for the loved ones left behind because there is no good reason for it to happen. I do believe the only thing that kept me "sane" during my loss and even now is that I had to be the strong one for my brothers (age 9 and age 16 at the time...I was only 17).
