In the wake of a tragic, horrific and shocking school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, CT, many of us in the St. Michael and Albertville area initially had no words.
As updates on the incident that left 20 children and six adults dead are provided by our colleagues at Newtown Patch, we have many thoughts of support for the families, friends and entire community shaken by the tragedy.

As a father of two children I can not imagine the hurt these families are going through. How my heart aches for them all and I do not even know any of them. Its tragic and to know there were heroes in the midst makes feel that we as parents need to be the heroes as well and comfort our children and let them know how much they mean to us everyday more often. My prayers go out to all the families and friends effected by this senseless act. From me and my kids, you are not alone.

I am deeply saddened for the families who have lost their children, and for the town of Newtown. I cannot image what any of you are going, through I get tears in my eyes just thinking about it. Please stay strong. EVERYONE is praying for you. My thoughts are with you all.
