I Had to come back and offer my
 

prayers and condolences to anyone effected or knew anyone in the horrible, horrible massacre at VA tech today. This is such a drastic tragedy that should of never happened and too much of this is going on today.
My most sincere thoughts and prayers are with any and all involved with this.
this might be in the wrong place, but i'm sorry. To me this thread has VA people that have yorkies so its sorta in the right place to get to the yorkie owners in that area that were effected by todays tragedy.

You're so sweet to think of other people when you're dealing with your own problems right now. I hope no on on YT was affected, but unfortunately a lot of people accross the country are suffering right now. My prayers and condolences go out to those people as well. It is just too horrible for words. :(

i totally agree....my prayers are also with all those affected by this. i couldnt believe when i heard this...so tragic!!! :(

This morning before I went to work, I saw there was one or two fatalities, then afterwork I met up with some friends and they informed there was like 33! I couldn't believe it!

My prayers go out to the loved ones of the victims. This is terrible and makes you wonder why things like this happen.

OMG how could anyone even do that? Honestly, what is wrong w/ people this days?

this is very sad, i had nightmares last night about it. i couldnt sleep, i was
so scared.

This thread was such a thoughtful thing to do.
It is hard to believe that a country like ours has such severe problems.
I heard on the news last night that America is the only country that
has these issues involving shootings in schools and colleges!
Very sad and extremely scary.
My thoughts and prayer's go out to all the students and families who
are going through the nightmare of trying to make sense of this
horrific crime.

Not true -- The US holds no monopoly on school shootings -- we just seem to have more. Earlier in this thread you can read of one such horror in Scotland. Who could forget the Beslan school massacre in Russia that claimed over 300 lives (186 of them children)? 1997 Yemen; 1999 Alberta, Canada; 1999 Netherlands; 2000 Germany; 2001 Sweden; 2002 Freising, Germany; 2002 Erfurt, Germany; 2002 Vlasenica, Bosnia-Herzegovina; 2004 Argentina; all school shootings! All committed by students or former students except the terrorists in Beslan.

This is so horribly sad -- unnecessary loss of life is always hard, but for those so young with so much yet to live -- that is a tragedy of monumental proportions!

I pray for the families that will have to deal with so much loss; I pray for the survivors who have experienced such a nightmare; I pray for the counselors, teachers, doctors and officials that will need to be strong and provide guidance and assistance to so many who have been affected. I pray for all of us who are once again faced with the evil of mankind. I pray for the family of the gunman -- how horrible to realize your loved one harbored such evil and brought it to bear against so many innocents. I pray for the victims that are still struggling with injuries. And most of all I pray for those who were killed. May their souls find everlasting peace.
