Wpn_alameddine_070417_blog_2  "I just got word he was of the ones killed in the classroom," said a sobbing Lynnette Alameddine, moments after a chaplain called to tell her that her son was among the dead, according to a report in the Boston Herald.

Earlier Tuesday night, Lynnette Alameddine spent hours calling police and hospitals, which she said were unresponsive to her frantic pleas for information.

Ross Alameddine had just declared English as his major. A graduate of Austin Preparatory School in Reading, Mass., he was called a "bright and engaged student" by his former headmaster Paul J. Moran.

When life doesn't seem fair that is when we must rely on our faith and trust in God. My heart hurts for you all.

I can't even imagine the level of pain and disbelief that you must be experiencing. I am a mother of an almost-18 year old daughter, who leaves for college next fall. It saddens me to think that she might not be safe. Please know that your family and all who know and love you will be there for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I have a son and daughter almost the same age and I cannot imagine what you must be feeling at this moment. My heart grieves with you and may God carry you through each day ahead. God Bless.

Our prayers go out to the families of VT may God give you the strength to continue tomorrow for the lost we suffered today.We have a saying when the night gets more dark the light is about to come out, so therefore have faith in God he is almighty and he heals everything with time. I will pray for your families and mines i hope and wish that in a future things won't happen as it did today becuase the only thought of tragedy scares me for my children and for all Human kind so as we could see that to tragedy there is no color race or skin, Lets have strenght and pray for all angels that God will be with them and let us pray that god be with us. I hope that Cho finds peace beyond death and may God forgivr his soul. I cried along with my wife just thinking of the thought of our kids in a future. God Bless all of you TODAY TOMORROW AND ALWAYS.

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.
