For every college campus across this nation, April 16, 2007 has become your 9/11.

My deepest thoughts and prayers.

I live and work in Northern Ireland. We have had many senseless, tragic killings here over the past 35 years. My sympathy and condolences to the friends and loved ones of the slaughtered. The capacity of the human psyche never ceases to baffle and perturb. I have had to acknowledge in the face of many horrific events that I too am capable of the noblest or basest action depending on the choices I make on my journey in life. Condolonces also to those who loved the 'shooter' and now have to also live with horrific consequences.

From England, so sad, so sorry :(

We are all Hokies today. We are crying with you at this senseless tragedy.

I will continue to pray for all.

We are so very sorry for this terrible moment. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all for healing and dealing with the loss of those who were much loved by so many. Berry - Rochester, MN

For awhile, we are all united in our grief for the tremendous loss you have suffered. To those who are hurting, please know that many are praying.

We once visited your great institution to see an old college friend in the then nascient veterinary program. We loved the campus, town and the sorrounding area. As long time University of Miami fans, we have always admired your school in general as well as your sports programs, particularly the football team and Coach Beamer. As was said in another post, "We are all Hokies now". To all Virginia Tech students, faculty, staff and their families, and to the greater Blacksburg community, please accept our hearfelt condolences and sincerest wish that you will soon find comfort and peace.

Today at 2:00 pm, the Virginia Tech community gathers together on their campus in Blacksburg to honor the memory of those tragically killed in yesterday's horrific violence and to comfort fellow students, colleagues, families and friends as they struggle with inconceivable grief and anguish.

At that hour, as an expression of respect and remembrance, the Connecticut State University System respectfully requests that students, faculty, and staff at Central, Eastern, Southern and Western Connecticut state universities pause briefly in our daily activities to observe a moment of silent reflection.

Although we are miles away in Connecticut, distance does not diminish the depth of our heartfelt sorrow for the people of Virginia Tech. The positive thoughts and, for those who choose, prayers, of our university community will hopefully serve to comfort each and every individual not only on this day, but through the difficult days ahead.

From Buena Vista, VA-

There's nothing any of us can say that can express how we feel. Know that Parry McCluer High School and the town of Buena Vista is thinking of each and every one of the students, the families, the victims of yesterday's massacre.

It's been said before, but not nearly enough: today, every Virginian is a Hokie.

God bless.

We pray that in the midst of this tragedy God's love and mercy will comfort you. He loves each of you and cries with you. And we do, too.

When you wake up you'll know that
Your dreams have come true

My deepest sympathy to the victims of this horrible tragedy, both deceased and still fighting for their lives. I am appalled that the news networks have seized on the unnecessary twist that the school authorities should have notified the students sooner and they may have liability. When involved in a shocking incident that is just unfolding, it is impossible to think of all the things that "might" happen. I believe the authorities responded timely and accurately based on the information they had the time. It is easy to point the finger after the fact and I wonder how all these reporters, or anyone, would react in similar circumstances. After something like this, the reporters (and even politicians) rush in and in a feeding frenzy give false information and speculation. And the world watches like rubberneckers looking at a car accident. My heart goes out to the victims and their families and my prayers are with you.

There are no words that can express our heartfelt sorrow for all of Virginia Tech.
I would like to say that we do live in a world of free choice.And when a bad choice is made there are terrible conquences and people suffer.Please know that there is a loving God who does not fear pain but embraces it and His love shows through that.God Bless all of you and know that we are praying for you and thinking about you here in Worthington,Ohio.

God Bless you all from Florida. Stand Strong Hokies!

Mark, Class of 87

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. As we watched this unfold on television we were in shock just like everyone else. I pray that God will touch the hearts of all involved and that he will help to heal us all. We will continue to lift you all up in prayer. God Bless you all. Louisa, Virginia

My heart and soul goes out to the Hokie community, one of the finest schools in the ACC. Prayers are a must during these times of grief!

From Canada who wishes you all my deepest sympathies. Please try to find "omarion" who posted a comment on fark.com asking everyone to "pray for me, please" at 11.40.25 am yesterday morning. I'd like to make sure she's alright as no one responded to her at all and I got worried that she was in danger and all alone somewhere on campus.

I'll check fark.com later to see if it's been updated.

You are in our thoughts, today, tomorrow, forever.

May God in his infinite mercy wipe your tears and comfort your grief. Cherish and share the good memories of those who are lost and keep them in your heart.

From Rutgers University Law School, Newark NJ --

Our hearts and thoughts are with everyone, students, faculty, staff, families, the community, at Virginia Tech.

We began praying for you when we first heard the news yesterday and will continue to do so. Please know that there are many, many prayers being said for you all. May you find strength in each other and the Lord in this most difficult time.

I find it almost impossible to believe that a nightmare like this can occur anywhere. As an alum, I find it even harder to believe it could come to Blacksburg. My heart, prayers, and tears go out, to the victims, and to the survivors.

No words can express my feelings of horror. Peace and understanding to all. Let's celebrate the bright side of the human character as evinced by the teachers defending their students against this nightmare.

My heart breaks for and with you. May God help you all heal this most horrific wound!

We are a high school in rural New Brunswick Canada(8 miles from the Maine U.S border. We would like to express our deepest sympathy, and our prayers will be with you.

My dad was a VPI grad from way back; he loved the school. One of the songs he used to sing to us when we were kids had this line: "Oh, Tech men, oh, Tech men, you know our hearts are with you."

I find myself saying this today:

Oh, Tech men and women, you know our hearts are with you.
