Hi Beth! No I did not forget you! I am sorry it has been awhile since I came by, but I have been so busy.

What a wonderful post you have hear. It is so heartwarming to know we all share like minded sentiments and grieve for the families and with them.

What a sad week.

Bottom line patriots after two DEAD Va Tech students were found dead at 0720 a.m., and NO gunman nor GUN was found, law enforcement should ALWAYS foresee the worst possible scenarios(s) and never ASSUME anything for the word ASSUME makes an ASS U ME! More will come of what Va Tech PD did and didn’t do, and what they should have done. IF they learn from their failings and findings, hopefully the madmen and women in the future won’t be able to take as many lives in God forbid future copycat shootings.

“Tragedy Averted”…

Or mitigated at the very least. That’s what the headlines might well have proclaimed the day of the shootings at Virginia Tech - if - American traditions and plain common sense had been allowed to prevail in the years and months prior to that debacle….

A beautiful post and a fitting tribute. The teacher, Christopher Bishop, was from Pine Mountain, GA and a member of Pine Mountain, UMC! This horrible event has touched SO many people.

In Honor of the deceased 32 Hokies & family members:
TAPS -
Day is done, gone the sun
from the lake, from the hill, from the sky.
All is well, safely rest.
God is nigh.

Thanks and praise, for our days
‘neath the sun, ‘neath the stars, ‘neath the sky.
As we go, this we know.
God is nigh.

- US Civil War, 1862, Captain Robert Ellicombe, Federal Army

Beth - your beautiful post shows the world that conservatives are compassionate and that we do have hearts of sympathy!
And for this fact this is why we are detested and hated but like the Good Book states and what Rev. Franklin Graham said yesterday, “Satan was in this demonic shooter and dealt with by heroism and good!” Amen.

Making the people in the tragedy more real to us by giving us names and mini bios is an awesome idea!

I am going to favorite you in Technorati as part of the “Favorites Exchange.”

Thanks for visiting my blog.

I love your list. My boyfriend and I were just talking about how they always remember the killer but never the victims. Kudos to you for remembering and sharing!

Touching tribute. The tragedy at Virginia Tech is so sad. The victims, their families and friends, and the entire community, are in my prayers.

JOHN 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this, than he lay down his life for his friends.” … PSALM 23:1-6 “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul….I will fear no evil for you are with me…and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Amen Beth!

I feel so sad for the families of the victims and all the students at Virginia Tech. And, I also feel for this boy’s parents. They didn’t ask for or deserve this, and they’ll have to live with the knowledge their son killed all those students. His grandfather from Korea said his family had a problem with him not speaking even when he was little. Perhaps he should have been tested back then, but his grandpa said he was a good kid.

Thanks for doing this for these ‘heros’.

Check out my TT.

It’s unthinkable. How can anyone fathom the utter terror and evil of such an event?

It is so sad to think of the destruction and loss of the V.T. tragedy. Thank you for sharing these little bits of the people so directly involved.

Wonderful idea. There is so much good in so many people! It is good to be reminded of that after having to deal with some that you and I have dealt with in the past week or two, isn’t it! There were many more heroes in this carnage than we will ever know.

BSC: That’s the truth!!
