Lives Lost - Lives Shattered

I would just like to express my deepest sympathies to all of the families, friends and relatives of all of the victims of this horrible tragedy. I know that all of us in Middletown, NJ are in absolute shock over this incident and are just trying to find the words to express the incredible pain that everyone, especially the family and friends of Julia Pryde, are going through right now. As a community, Middletown has always been very united and during times like these, it is so important to maintain that unity and togetherness just to get through the day. Julia will always be remembered in all of our hearts. May she rest in peace.

Celebrate the life of Julia with Light, Love and Peace.

i'm so sorry to hear about what happened at her school. i live in minn and the impact was felt greatly here, i'm sure like everywhere else, i just wanted to say you are in my thoughts and prayers.

My prayers to you and ur family. May God give u strength during ur moment of pain and despair. I cannot imagine what you're going through but know that my heart and everyone else in America grieves with you. God Bless!

My deepest sympathy goes out to those whose lives were taken in the Virginia Tech tragedy and to their families. Stay strong.

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.

EACH OF YOU LIKE AN ANGEL
WHO SUDDENLY LEFT US,
WE ARE SADDENED & EMPTY,
BUT NEED TO BE STRONG,
IT'S BEYOND UNDERSTANDING
WHY SUCH A NICE PERSONS
WOULD BE TAKEN FROM US
LIKE IT'S WIPED WITH A STORM.

WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER
YOUR STRIVE FOR SUCCESSES,
AND YOUR DREAMS,AND YOUR PROJECTS,
YOUR BIG GIVING HEARTS,
YOU WERE LOVED, AND FOREVER
WE THINK OF YOUR JOURNEY,
YOU WERE BRINGING US JOY
THAT WE NEVER FORGOT.

To the Pryde family may god bless you.

We pray that God will comfort the heart-broken souls of Julia's loved-ones.

Perhaps the tragedy of her death and those of her classmates will be the catalyst for a deepened love for humanity....and a new awareness of the preciousness and beauty of life.

God Bless your family in this time of sorrow...

May you find comfort in her spirit which has survived, and having left her body has settled into the deepest chambers of your hearts.

My thoughts, my prayers, and my love is with you as it is with all of the other families.

God is with you in your sorrow, and may you find comfort in divine love and in the love of humanity streaming out from throughout the world.
