</br>
Dear Rene and all at Office of Recovery and Support,</br>
</br>
I spoke to Rene the other day to say that I am a writer/songwriter who was moved very much by the tragedy in Virginia Tech, having close family in Virginia, and wrote a song entitled simply 'Blacksburg Virginia.'</br>
</br>
The song is going to radio stations in Virginia and to the university in time for the memorial services.</br>
</br>
I would appreciate it if you could get it around to wherever it would most likely be played, as I believe the message is important, about gun control, and how vital our children are to us: too vital to leave guns around to kill them, or wars to take them. I hope it will be balm to the soul as the message implores people to think, and change things, and therefore to hope.</br>
</br>
With my Warmest Regards and True Sympathy to you all for your community's loss.</br>
</br>
Yours faithfully,</br>
Nicolle Freni</br>
