As we process the gut-wrenching act of violence that took place this evening in a place of peace in our community, we hold in our hearts everyone who is affected and lift them up in love.

Left the scene. Have no words to express the sadness I feel. How do you make sense of a senseless act of evil. We must continue to talk to our children. Be kind to one another.

Be kind to one another. Be civil always and condemn those that spew hate. We can no longer ignore hatred. We must act... and most of all we must pray.
