There are no words to leaven the pain of your loss and this tragedy. But the following is a humble offering that hopefully will bring some comfort, when you feel the sun shining again:

In the rising of the sun and in its going down, we remember them.

In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them.

In the opening of buds and in the warmth of summer, we remember them.

In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them.

So long as we live they, too, shall live for they are now a part of us as we remember them.

Don't stand beside my grave and weep.
For I'm not there. I do not sleep.

When you awake from sleep in hush,
and hear the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight;
Or in the soft starlight of night,

I'll be that gentle breeze that blows,
in moonlit glints of falling snow;
Or sunlight on the ripened grain,
after a gentle autumn rain.

Don't stand beside my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss.

To the Family of Austin Cloyd, She had so much to give back to life. And now she is a angel among angels. An with that smile of hers you will always remember it.

May the peace of Christ sustain you in this time of deep sorrow.

I was so saddened by the loss of lives at Virginia Tech. My daughter who is also away at College and who isn't as academically driven said "but these kids were actually trying to be somebody." I only know Austin by what I read but this sounds like her. She was somebody, she made a difference even in her short life. My thoughts and prayers to her family.

Though my heart aches with grief, mainly because of the sensless nature of the violence that came as a result of one person's irrational hatred, I've decided that the only way to personally make sense of this is to NOT forget Austin's smiling face, to ALWAYS be reminded to bring the humanity that lives just under the skin of all of us more completely to the surface.

As the parent of a young lady preparing for college, my heart goes our to the parents of Austin. I pray that you can somehow find some comfort in this moment of inconsolable grief......and that you can source the gift of faith to transcend your despair.

A beautiful woman who's memory will be forever honored. God Bless.

God Bless you in this time of sorrow...

To the Cloyd Family,

Please accept my deepest and sincerest condolences to you, the family of Austin Cloyd, on the loss of your daughter. As a mother of a daughter who's on her way to the Army, I can only say that while I have no sense of depth of how you're feeling, I can imagine that it must be the most difficult emotional pain that God lies upon our shoulders as human beings. She was a real beauty, I'm sure inside as well as out. Please know that your family are in my prayers and please, take care of yourselves.

May God bless you and keep you...
