Virginia Tech Tragedy

It is with a deep sense of loss that I extend my condolences to the friends and families of the victims of today’s tragedy at Virginia Tech.

When things like this happen, we are at a loss; we are desperately looking for answers that often are not forthcoming. Many Loudoun residents have children, nephews, nieces or cousins at VA Tech, so I cannot imagine what today has been like for many of our neighbors and friends, and indeed for everyone. It is one of those events that you remember for a very long time where you were when it happened

Many questions are flowing through my mind, but today is not the day for questions. Today is a day of prayers to God, for him to grant the families and friends of the victims, the Virginia Tech community and indeed the entire country the strength to bear this loss of innocent lives.
