Fellows, this one hurts. It really hurts this time.
I'm not one to get all weepy eyed most of the time, when I read or hear about major tragedies. But this time...Enough is Enough.
I don't have an answer as to why, neither will anyone else. The shooter is dead too. But WHY?.....My God, what has happened that there are those with a mental deficiency, believe to make a statement they have to go and do something like this.
His 15 minutes of so called fame, He will never even know about it.
I believe one of the terrible outcomes of this tragedy is others, with a mental deficiency are going to see and read about this, will try to emulate today, only possibly make it even worse.
I can only hope the good Lord above can hear my prayer today, for those who have lost their lives, and to the families of those who have perished.
If you will please bear with me...
This is from a Jewish Yizkor Memorial Service A prayer in Memory of a child.
I remember in this solemn hour, beloved child, the many joys you afforded me during your lifetime. I recall the days when I delighted in your physical and mental growth, and planned for your future. Though death has taken you from me, you are not forgotten. Your spirit is enshrined in my heart.

O heavenly Father, I thank Thee for the precious gift which Thou didst entrust to my keeping, and which Thine infinite wisdom Thou hast called back unto Thyself. Thought few were the years wherein I rejoiced with my child, many were the blessings that he (she) brought into my household. Teach me to live more nobly and to extend my love and devotion to other children in thankfulness for the privilege of having had and loved this child. Though but for a few brief years. Thus may his (her) should be bound up in the bond of life and his (her) memory remain an inspiration to me.
Amen.
