Dear President Steger:</br>
</br>
Please accept these humble sentiments of condolence for the family and friends of the</br>
Virginia Tech community.</br>
</br>
The enclosed DVD was a spontaneous gesture on the part of the students in the</br>
"Introduction to Acting/Directing for TV/Film" class. Their words are unprepared and</br>
from the hearts of students to kindred students. The card contains signatures from the</br>
faculty members of the School of Theatre, Dance & Speech Communications.</br>
</br>
It is wonderful to see Virginia Tech being given so much support from all over the</br>
country. Lives will eventually heal, but in the meantime accept our thoughts and prayers</br>
to aid in the process of your recovery.</br>

Dear Dean Niles, </br>
</br>
I am happy to send you this DVD of our Memorial Service, "Berklee Remembers VT" held on Thursday, April 19. As I said in my email, it was a musical service and very moving. It helped our community to heal a bit (or start to heal) and there are many members of our community with VT ties (friends, colleagues, grew up in the VT area, etc.) </br>
</br>
Our hope is that you may be able to have a viewing for whoever might be interested. It is short, about 40 minutes. This was the first time in our history (I have been here 40 years) that an entire Berklee Performance Center audience left an event in complete silence. Amazing. </br>
</br>
We wish you peace and recovery. </br>
</br>
Regards, </br>
Lawrence E. Bethune </br>
Vice President for Student Affairs </br>
and Dean of Students

"32"(A tribute to Virginia Tech)
As days went by living their lives sometimes so
free who knew that day would be the last breath they'd
breathe, from young to old but yet so full of life I
guess the question for some time will be why. life is
so precious sometimes complicated but so fragile I know
you and I both wish they could have stayed for a while
although they are gone the memories, the love we share
they will never be forgotten because you and I, We all
care. from my heart to your heart, from me to you,this
is for the families, the love ones, and the thirty-two.
May God Be With You All!

Hello my name is Tim Williamson I'm writing to you in regards to the
unfortunate tragic event that took
Place at Virginia Tech.It truly touched my heart to know that we lost
the"32 young and old, and I felt that I needed
to do something for the victims and their familes to help in the healing
process.Because it's hard to deal with the death
of a family member and it dosen't make it any easier losing them to a
senseless tragedy, so for the "32" I wrote a poem
titled "32" and also a song "Love Ones (The cd is enclosed inside this
package) you can also view the poem online and listen to
the song by going to www.myspace.com/32tribute2virginiatech. My
goal is to let the family members know that they have my
support in this time of their loss. so please if you can promise that you
will forward this information to your students, faculty and
the family members, so that they know they aren't alone. Please and
Thank You!

and now you are gone
I don’t understand why

‘cuz from this day forth, I’ll be missing you
this is for the loved ones that we lost
this is for the loved ones who are gone
this is for the loved ones who we miss
this is for the loved ones we won’t forget
this is for the loved ones that we lost
this is for the loved ones who are gone
this is for the loved ones who we miss
this is for the loved ones we won’t forget
It’s been a while
since you’ve been gone
now I’m trying to learn how
to live on
you were such a part of my life
you did everything you could
to make sure I was alright
and I remember on the day when you had to go away
it was a sad day
but i will never forget
on that day when
you went away
this is for the loved ones that we lost
this is for the loved ones who are gone
this is for the loved ones who we miss
this is for the loved ones we won’t forget
this is for the loved ones that we lost
this is for the loved ones who are gone (ooh, ooh, ooh)
this is for the loved ones who we miss (I’m saying that I miss you)
this is for the loved ones we won’t forget (but I won’t forget you)
this is for the loved ones (even though you’ve gone away)
this is for the loved ones (your memories will stay)
this is for the loved ones (I can’t you, you gone)
this is for the loved ones that we lost (oh, oh, oh)

Dear Admissions Office,
My name is Vance Thurston. I work as a wood worker, and
mechanic in Montana. To express our love, grief and prayers for
your loss, I wrote this song I hope might be of comfort.
Yesterday I sang it at Pilgrim Congregational Church in
Bozeman, Montana and the congregation sang the chorus. It was
heart felt as we sent our prayers. This is that recording along with
the original recording of the song. I hope it can be of comfort to
others.
You are welcome to make copies of this CD or words and
share them if you feel it appropriate with families, students or
however would be the best use.
Feel free to contact me anytime if I can be of help. I have
already sent an e-mail with the word attachment. Thank you for
your time and help.
Our prayers are with you... God Bless, Vance Thurston

You Do Not Grieve Alone
Chorus: You do not grieve alone, you do not grieve alone
In the sorrow of this tragedy, you do not grieve alone
Senseless acts of violence, shake us to the core
Family, friends and teachers, not with us anymore
Tragedy that goes beyond the why of reasons fair
We pray that you can bear the pain and rise above despair Chorus:
Too small these words to comfort loss or heal the ache of grief
Too small what we can do or say and yet we try to speak
We hold you tender in our hearts, ever know we care
For love will dawn through darkest night as in your grief we share
Chorus or instrumental:
There's a place beyond our sorrow, where tears become new day
Where you again will learn to laugh and even dance and play
A place of hope where cherished memories of love can be
A place to which we will prevail and wake with Spirit free Chorus:
In the sorrow of this tragedy, you do not grieve alone
"with love and prayers"
Vance Thurston

Chorus: You do not grieve alone, you do not grieve alone
In the sorrow of this tragedy, you do not grieve alone
Senseless acts of violence, shake us to the core
Family, friends and teachers, not with us anymore
Tragedy that goes beyond the why of reasons fair
We pray that you can bear the pain and rise above despair Chorus:
Too small these words to comfort loss or heal the ache of grief
Too small what we can do or say and yet we try to speak
We hold you tender in our hearts, ever know we care
For love will dawn through darkest night as in your grief we share
Chorus or instrumental:
There's a place beyond our sorrow, where tears become new day
Where you again will learn to laugh and even dance and play
A place of hope where cherished memories of love can be
A place to which we will prevail and wake with Spirit free Chorus:
In the sorrow of this tragedy, you do not grieve alone

Tico St. John
Dear Friend
My name is Tico St. John. I wish to you
my deepest condolences. This truly was a tragedy.
I'm sending to you a song that I've written
"Angels in Paradise." which was inspired by watching
the New. I truly wish that their was more I could do.
I also enclosed my photo so that there's a
face with the song. It is a tune that I wrote quickly
only vocals and acoustic guitar. I hope that my
lyrics will console you.
May God
bless all of you
Hokies! 4-Ever!!!!

I miss your smiling faces
And your laughter in the air
I miss your warm embraces
And the good times that we shared
[Chorus] I know someday we’ll meet again
As long as I live right
I know you're safe
Each one of your are my angels in paradise
Lookin’ at your photographs
Brought sweet memories to me
Teenage boys and girls
Men and women were you to be
Chorus
Angry, sad, and angry
I can’t lie, yes this is true
Sleepless nights
Oh God help me
I must hold on to you
I still look at the window
Still wait for your phone calls
Then I realize
You’re not here anymore
As my tears fall to the floor
Woah, woah
I still see you in my dreams
As if time was standing still
Your surroundings quite serene
As the years go by I heal

A written representation of a document.
On a cold April morning
A touch of snow
An evil wind was blowing
That chilled right to the bone
A young man woke this morning
His heart had turned to stone
He selfishly cried today I will die
But I will not go alone
The serenity of Blacksburg was about to come undone
Those demons in this young man's head had him on the run
For this young disturbed man
Who’s heart had turned to stone
Took the innocence of Blacksburg on this cold, cold April morn'
Blacksburg we love you
You’re in our thoughts and prayers
And in your darkest hour the world prays and cares
Virginia Tech, your southern pride, it will not be denied
God has his arms around those angels
Proudly by his side
God has laid his hands upon you
And taught you to be strong
With a loving God by your side
Hokie pride will carry on
Virginia Tech we love you
And the world now knows your name
It offers prayers and comfort
To help you heal your pain
Well that Hokie nation grows ever stronger, with each passing day
Because your present tears, will last for years and years
All those fallen angels we have lost today

On a cold April morning</br>
A touch of snow</br>
An evil wind was blowing </br>
That chilled right to the bone</br>
A young man woke this morning</br>
His heart had turned to stone</br>
He selfishly cried today I will die</br>
But I will not go alone</br>
</br>
The serenity of Blacksburg was about to come undone</br>
Those demons in this young man's head had him on the run</br>
For this young disturbed man</br>
Who’s heart had turned to stone</br>
Took the innocence of Blacksburg on this cold, cold April morn'</br>
</br>
Blacksburg we love you</br>
You’re in our thoughts and prayers</br>
And in your darkest hour the world prays and cares</br>
Virginia Tech, your southern pride, it will not be denied</br>

Dear Virginia Tech (and all of those families that are associated with the college),
My name is Jimmy Pearson. I am a high school senior in Elyria, Ohio. On Monday I
heard about the tragic events that occurred at your college. I did not know what to say after
hearing this because I am currently the lead character in a play about school violence. I actually
play the character who has killed five of his classmates and his parents, so when I heard about this
on the news, I felt so many different things that I wasn't even sure that I wanted to do the play
any more. It gave me a new outlook on my character and honestly scared me a lot. The irony of
the whole situation was/is a little overwhelming to me. First I would just like to say that you have
my every condolence and I do hope that everything will be ok for everyone who was a victim and
for everyone else who were not direct victims but are still victims in the end of Monday's events.
It's strange because for some reason I keep feeling the need to say that I am sorry even though I
know that I never did anything and never would do anything of this nature. Maybe it's just the
character from my play talking. Maybe I feel that because I'm portraying a teen who has a lot of
problems and makes bad decisions, that I am somehow related to what happened even though I
know that I am not. I do not honestly know.
In addition to acting, I also write music. After Monday I felt that I needed to write a song
for all of you. I wrote it and recorded it in my room. The recording doesn't sound professional
because I don't have good software for recording things and the mic that I use is not very good. I
was not able to find a professional to record me. I did my best however to make the song sound good
and I really hope that you like it. The song is called Yesterday. The song is dedicated to
everyone at Virginia Tech and everyone somehow connected to Virginia Tech. I hope you like it.
Sincerely,
Jimmy Pearson

Yesterday
Do you feel like crying won't wash it away?
Are you sick of trying to color your gray?
I know I don't know who you are
But we're all the same in one way
Brush the clouds off think of people you love
Don't lock away your sorrows don't bottle them up
And if I could I would be there
Just know that we all care
chorus
The whole world feels your pain
It'll (You'll) be ok
You'll see things change
You don't know how to move on
It seems so long
Now that yesterday is gone
Do you believe that love can make things right
That love can make the darkness a little more bright
I believe we all need a little more love
So don't cry I'll be here for you to lean on
chorus
I know you feel like hiding away (hiding in the shadows)
You feel like you need to get away from this place
I know you feel like hiding away (hiding in the shadows)
You don't need to get away from this place

Dear Dr. Charles W. Steger,
My name is Whitney Olsen, I am a 20 year old college student attending Utah
Valley State College. I know that this is not the first letter you have received with
messages relating towards your school and the atrocity that happened in April and that
you probably still receive many a day but I hope you will take the time to read mine.
In April 2007 I was attending Utah State University. It was a cold morning and I
was watching the news eating a bowl of cereal when I first heard that there had been a
shooting at your school. I watched in silence as the broad casters spoke. I could not
believe it. I went to my classes that day un able to take my thoughts way from what had
happened. Over the next few days I read countless articles on it, watched the news and
talked to my friends about it. Even though I live thousands of miles away I was very
very struck by what had happened. I wanted to help. I wanted to some how let your
students know that even though I did not know them and they did not know me, it did not
matter. I was a fellow university student and my heart reached out to them in their time of
need.
Enclosed with this letter you will find my C.D. I am a singer/song writer and I
knew I had to write a song for your school and some how get it there after I heard what
had happened. Thanks to the wonderful opportunity I had to fly to Orlando, Florida and
perform in front of an audience of 5,000 I was able to record some songs including the
one dedicated to Virginia Tech. It has always been my hope and wish that some how I
would get to share it with the students of your school. My heart was touched by the
many people who walked up to me after I sang it in Florida, sharing with me their
connections to your school. Some said they would show the song to the kids who
attended there. I hope they get to hear it, but I thought that by sending a copy to you, you
could some how help me in getting it into the hands of your students. The song is titled
"Our Prayer". I have many copies of the CD if you are interested in helping me spread
this song to your students. It was the only gift I could offer being so far away but I hope
the words will touch your heart. Thank you so much for your time and God bless.

Gentle morning broke
How were we to know today would be their last smile
When you first heard the news
Your heart was left confused
And needing some reconcile
Where has the sun gone
How can we move on
When our heart's left in so much pain
Haven’t we got enough things that to try to hurt us
How can we feel safe
Friends who stood by our side
Teachers who always tried
To encourage our very best
Fathers who loved but one
A mothers growing son
And daughters with beauty unsaid
Where has the sun gone
How can we move on
When our heart's left in so much pain
Haven’t we got enough things that to try to hurt us
How can we feel safe
How can we stop this hate
What do we need to change
Lord show us the way
How can we stop this hate
What do we need to change
Lord show us the way
Haven’t we got enough things that to try to hurt us
How can we feel safe
Send us your strength Lord
Open a new door
We need hope for a brighter day
How can we stop this hate
What do we need to change
Lord show us a way
How can we stop this hate
What do we need to change
Lord show us a way
Send those in need our love
Give comfort, strength, and just let them feel our prayers
It's time to make a change
I know you feel the same
Together let us find a way

lan Noe
Hello,
My name is lan Noe. I am a senior at Lee County High School in Beattyville, Kentucky. First let me
extend my condolences to your school, staff, students, and the families of the victims of the events of
April 16, 2007. Also, I want you to know that I am not sending you this for my own recognition or
personal gain.
I wrote the enclosed song because I feel like the words convey the feelings of many. Its been said the
music is the universal language. It can be used for many purposes; to laugh, to cry, to ponder, and so
on. Songs can help others speak, even though they didn't write the words. That's why songs can never
be truly owned. Sure, they can be copyrighted, stamped with a name, or attributed to an artist, but
songs that people relate to are owned by the people they help.
Hopefully you can use this song in memorial of those who lost their lives, those who lost sons,
daughters, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, mentors, and friends. I would love to have an opportunity to
sing this song for your school and the families of those lost. If you would allow me to come to your
school to play this song, it would be an honor.
Thank you for your time.
lan Noe

"Sweet Virginia (You Are Not Alone)"
Ian Noe
Oooh baby, hear the sound
Sweet Virginia, cryin down
And oh darlin, 'neath the gun
Thirty-two on the setting sun
And don't the highway roll
While you pray
To the wind you go
Blow away
And in the sky we own
We are flyin home
Sweet Virginia I can hear ya
You are not alone
Oooh baby, see the sky
Sweet Virginia, flyin high
And oh darlin, ease your mind
Come tomorrow, the sun will shine
But don't the highway roll
While you pray
And to the wind you go
Blow away
And in the sky we own
We are flyin home
Sweet Virginia, I can hear ya
You are not alone
Oooh baby, hear the sound
Sweet Virginia cryin down
And oh darlin, neath the gun
Thirty-two on the setting sun

Our thoughts and our prayers
From a family who cares
They are all with you tonight
Our sisters and our brothers
Fathers and mothers
And the heroes who tried to save them all
We want you to know
You are not alone
We are all standing by your side
We all feel your pain
We will hold your hand
We will dry your eyes when the teardrops fall
Tonight we’re praying for Blacksburg
Lord we need a helping hand
Put your arms around us
Help us understand
Tonight we’re praying for Blacksburg
Police cars and sirens
Are etched into my brain
Three weeks away from graduation
How could this happen
In our home away from home
It was always such a happy place
The things that we saw
The sounds that we heard
We did not know what to do
Then we heard the news
Our worst fears had come true
Then the tears started rolling down our face
Tonight we’re praying for Blacksurg
Lord we need a helping hand
Put your arms around us
Help us understand
Tonight we’re praying for Blacksburg
Lord lift us up
Help us stand again
Get us through all this grief and pain
We will fly our flag
The orange and maroon
To let the world know we’re still here
We need to smile again
Together with our friends
Talk about the good times we’ve had
We will carry on
We’re Hokies right or wrong
And we’ll walk around this campus without fear
Tonight we’re praying for Blacksburg
Lord we need a helping hand
Put your arms around us
Help us understand
Tonight we’re praying for Blacksburg
Tonight we’re all praying for Blacksburg

Hello pam,
Much a pleasure to chat
with you on the phone. This DVD
I have sent to you was put
together about one month after
the song was Recorded... The song
was written six days after the
Tragedy and was Recorded two
days later... My Recording / musician
name is messenger… I have just
Released my first Cd in certain stores
and I have put my (THEIR) song on
that Cd. The message was to focus
on life not hate… Enclosed you will
find the Dvd and the Cd that has
been Released. Thank you for your
time pam and God Bless Virginia
Tech Always And Forever!
Sincerely,
Messenger

A written representation of a document.
[Spoken] This goes out to all the people in the world, to especially those victims of this crazy situation that took place with hate that day. My tribute to this is the least that I can do. You know, just singing the truth.
To the stars that will now remain
Refrain from hate and give love away
Violence took a piece of many hearts that day
Leaves you to think of Virginia’s pain
Virginia’s pain, Virginia’s pain
Leaves you to think of Virginia’s pain
I can’t believe what has taken place
Half way from Maine to the Keys
Virginia seeds once planted to grow are now gone from a storm
Why bring your wrath and anger and pain
And take those precious seeds away
It’s not a fair exchange
Virginia
And as a voice unable to try, I say why
Like the rest of the world as I mourn
And this pain, from one person take
Please, it weren’t your place
Heart to heart, soul to soul
I've all come to know is that your a disgrace to the rest of the world
No explanation can be given to the hurt
That has been left behind, Virginia times
Ruined lives there now from the hate that you gave that can’t be replaced
But with love and the families, who were the victims
In tune with the situation, that truly holds heart
I can’t believe I’m writing this song
Why the violence, stop the hate
Reflect on peace, there's a need
Nurture the seeds in the beginning of this hate
So that it dissipates, and goes away
Cause I pray for what happened that day
Yeah, Virginia’s pain
To the stars that will now remain
Refrain from hate and give love away
Violence took a piece of many hearts that day
Leaves you to think of Virginia’s pain
Virginia’s pain, Virginia’s pain
Leaves you to think of Virginia’s pain
After 9-1-1 , two lessons we learned
For the will to turn, and face each other
And come together
Our freedom, our liberty
Why in Virginia, or any state
Where hate stays all around the world we see violence
On the news, chaos maintaining to brew
T’ hey, did you hear about that school
Some great college of knowledge thats now haunted for life
We’re the families of the victims that go through the pain
But why did you take away
Messenger’s heart goes out to all who were affected
Which means the whole world
One man, one decision
To take all that love away and give all that hate
I’ll meet you at the gates as I’m sure many people feel the same way
But wait, do you think that what you did now will cure with time
Don’t think twice, you’re fried
Everyone else went to the sky
Virginia stands tall with strength that holds its place from that day
Cause its the only way, the American way
American we say, that can’t be taken away
To face each other and come together
Our freedom, our liberty
Why Virginia or any state
Why Virginia
To the stars that will now remain
Refrain from hate and give love away
Violence took a piece of many hearts that day
Leaves you to think of Virginia’s pain
Virginia’s pain, Virginia’s pain
Leaves you to think of Virginia’s pain
Virginia’s pain, Virginia’s pain
Leaves you to think of Virginia’s pain
Leaves you to think of Virginia’s pain
Leaves you to think of Virginia’s pain

Dear Students, Faculty and Administrators:
Our hearts went out to you on April 16. So much so, one of our band members and fellow
songwriter's had to react to this. We wanted to write a song that did justice to what had
happened but in a way as to show hope for a better day. Please listen to the CD sample,
look at the artwork and lyrics. Visit our website to read the whole story as to how Mike
Clapper wrote the lyrics to this.
We had already written a song for our troops but had not recorded it. We went ahead and recorded both songs on Friday May 11th. I hope these songs will pay tribute to both the
students that are gone and the students and everyone else that have survived. We will
gladly collect and forward proceeds from any sales of this CD to the fund that you have
established. This CD is not yet released in hard copy but the digital songs are released on
internet radio stations
We are just a local band called KUN-TAJUS (contagious) from Bedford, Pa and have
been playing for 43 years (we're almost as old as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones so
we all have children of college age) We have other songs that we have written
and recorded, plus other finished songs that are not yet recorded. We are 5 hrs. North of
Blacksburg so maybe someday we could come down and play a concert for the students.
Our website is www.kun-tajus.com
Sincerely,
Chad Patterson

Heard it on the radio, and the daily news
People were all in shock, didn’t know what to do
We all hung our heads and prayed, life’s too short so frail
Parents lost the words to say, one man took it all away
Oh yeah, down in Virginia, in Blacksburg
We all gathered to sing a song
For the children that had gone
Hear the words of those who lived
Telling us we must forgive
Oh yeah, down in Virginia, in Blacksburg
Yeah!
It’s just sad for it all to end this way
Oh Lord can’t you take it all away
Give those hope, who need it now, today

Subject: "Children of April" A Tribute Song for the Victims of 4/16/07... LUV CNU
Attachments: pat2077723873
Dear Vice President Hikes,
"Children of April" is a song written in tribute to the victims of April 16, 2007. Our musical group,
LUV CNU, based at Christopher Newport University, was formed especially to record this song.
We offer it as a gift to Virginia Tech and the university and college communities at large. A copy of the
song is attached to this message, although three versions can be heard and mp3s downloaded for free at
www.myspace.com/childrenofapril. One of those versions has no vocals so that it can be used as a
backtrack for other vocalists at future tributes. Our hope is that "Children of April" will bring some
comfort to those who need it, while honoring all those who so richly deserve it.
All the best,
LUV CNU
Children of April
They came from everywhere, from places far and wide,
Most to learn and some to teach, all to share the love inside.
They went to a mountain school, amid the pines and whippoorwills.
They wore orange and maroon, in this city on a hill.
Youth dreaming of future days, while their teachers guided them.
One teacher saw the Holocaust, just to see it come again,
Erupting on an April morn, amidst a swirling wind,
A tortured mind bearing arms, an attempt to lock them in.
But the children of April can never be locked in.
They cheer at every game.
They ride the swirling wind.
The children of April remain in God's embrace.
They are in the better hugs.
They march in every May.
The children of April still cheer at every game.
Send messages of love,
As we speak out their names.
The children of April remain in God's embrace.
They are in the better hugs.
They march in every May.

April 30, 2007
Dear Dean of Students,
Enclosed is a solo version of a tribute song for the victims of April 16. I would like you to share
it with the families and friends of the victims by whatever means possible. If appropriate, I
would like you to share it with the school at large.
I'm in the process of adding the voices of several students from Christopher Newport University
and the keyboards of a VT alumnus to this song. I believe it will greatly enhance it. But it will
take some time, and I wanted you and the victims' families and friends to have an opportunity to
hear "The Children of April" as soon as possible.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Frank Jordan

April 30, 2007</br>
</br>
Dear Dean of Students,</br>
</br>
Enclosed is a solo version of a tribute song for the victims of April 16. I would like you to share it with the families and friends of the victims by whatever means possible. If appropriate, I would like you to share it with the school at large.</br>
</br>
I'm in the process of adding the voices of several students from Christopher Newport University and the keyboards of a VT alumnus to this song. I believe it will greatly enhance it. But it will take some time, and I wanted you and the victims' families and friends to have an opportunity to hear "The Children of April" as soon as possible.</br>
</br>
Thank you for your time.</br>
</br>
Best regards,</br>
Frank Jordan

The Children of April
They came from everywhere, from places far and wide,
Most to learn and some to teach, all to share the love inside.
They went to a mountain school, amid the pines and whippoorwills.
They wore orange and maroon, in this city on a hill.
Youth dreaming of future days, while their teachers guided them.
One teacher saw the Holocaust, just to see it come again,
Erupting on an April morn, amidst a swirling wind,
A tortured mind bearing arms, an attempt to lock them in.
But the children of April can never be locked in.
They cheer at every game; they ride the swirling wind.
The children of April remain in God's embrace.
They are in the better hugs; they march in every May.
The children of April still cheer at every game.
Send messages of love, as we speak out their names.
The children of April remain in God's embrace.
They are in the better hugs.
They march in every May.

"Pray for the Children"
Written by Alison Meyers
As recorded by, "Illusions of ME"
Early one spring, in a Virginia town
Shots rang out on the campus grounds
Misguided youth with a firearms
Took out his aggressions with bodily harm
In the morning light you could hear them shout
Run for cover or you won't make it out
The students all ran for their lives
At the horror unfolding before their eyes
Pray for the children
As they lie
(Let's Pray)
Pray for the ones
That lost their lives
(Let's Pray)
Pray for the children
Taken before their time
(Let's Pray)
Pray for the ones
For whom a nation now cries.
He went through the dorms
Shot them one by one
Then he reloaded
Before he moved on
Across the quad
And down to the hall
Opened the classroom doors
And bodies began to fall
(Pray)
Pray for the children
As they lie
(Let's Pray)
Pray for the ones
That lost their lives

(Let's Pray)
Pray for the children
Taken before their time
(Let's Pray)
Pray for the ones
For whom a nation wonders why
And in the end
When silence fills the air
33 Bodies lay in blood
Oh, the life that was taken there
(Pray)
And Pray for the children
As they lie
(Let's Pray)
Pray for the faculty
That helped them to survive
(Let's Pray)
Pray for our country
Whose history changed today
(Let's Pray)
And pray for the Children

A written representation of a document.
Early one spring, in a Virginia town
Shots rang out on the campus grounds
Misguided youth with a firearms
Took out his aggressions with bodily harm
In the morning light you could hear them shout
Run for cover or you won't make it out
The students all ran for their lives
At the horror unfolding before their eyes
Pray for the children
As they lie
(Let's Pray)
Pray for the ones
That lost their lives
(Let's Pray)
Pray for the children
Taken before their time
(Let's Pray)
Pray for the ones
For whom a nation now cries.
He went through the dorms
Shot them one by one
Then he reloaded
Before he moved on
Across the quad
And down to the hall
Opened the classroom doors
And bodies began to fall
(Pray)
Pray for the children
As they lie
(Let's Pray)
Pray for the ones
That lost their lives

(Let's Pray)
Pray for the children
Taken before their time
(Let's Pray)
Pray for the ones
For whom a nation wonders why
And in the end
When silence fills the air
33 Bodies lay in blood
Oh, the life that was taken there
(Pray)
And Pray for the children
As they lie
(Let's Pray)
Pray for the faculty
That helped them to survive
(Let's Pray)
Pray for our country
Whose history changed today
(Let's Pray)
And pray for the Children

Wind woke me up this morning
Sky was dark and gray
Put on my shirt, get ready for work
Say good morning to another day
Get in my car and turn the radio up
Watch the snow fall from the sky
Hear breaking news from Blacksburg
Please stand by
Hokie, Hokie, Hokie Hi
I Think I know the reason why
Angels frozen tears are falling on my window
Tech, Tech, VPI
For you these tears I cry
Cause the angry wind has come to claim it's souls
Ask myself what can make someone do something like this
I realized it didn’t matter why
Just mattered that they did
I pull over on the side of the road
For the pure shock of it all
And I prayed for the parents that would get that call
Hokie, Hokie, Hokie Hi
I Think I know the reason why
Angels frozen tears are falling on my window

I sat all alone and cried
Cause the angry wind has come to claims it’s souls

Chorus:
There’s too many angels in Heaven
The angels said what can we do
The Lord said send them back to their loved ones
Pick a number up to 32
So they send them back 32 angels
To those who are feeling so blue
Now there’s 32 angels among us
And are now living with you
Chorus
God don’t need any more angels
Up where the skies are so blue
He wants them to live among us
In this land he made for you
Chorus
It's hard to understand this message
With a heart so broken in two
Why’d he pick these 32 angels
The reason is God loves you
Chorus
So be happy, be strong, be faithful
And help someone as God helped you
Cause someday he may pick a number
And the number may be you
There’s too many angels in Heaven
The angels said what can we do

Blacksburg, VA 24061
January 8, 2008
Thank you for everything you have done and we hope that there is a place
for our song somewhere in the memorial. We have included a copy of our
song on CD and a printout of the lyrics for your review. (BEST ENJOYED LOUD)
We would like you to place this song somewhere on the VA TECH
Memorial website. We played around with the tune for over a year but
couldn't find the right words for the song. We knew we wanted it to be
called "Dream Flying" and wanted the overall theme to be related to the title,
but for some reason, the words were not forthcoming.
Since I had been a student at VA Tech and Lewis' brothers were graduates,
we both had a very real connection to Blacksburg and had spent a lot of time
there. When we heard about the shootings, it seemed to be a catalyst for the
words of the song to come together. We think of it as a song of hope that
was inspired by a tragic event at a place that we both love. We don't
explicitly reference any particular event, but feel that our song captures a
"feeling" that we both shared after this terrible tragedy.
The song is copyrighted, but we are giving the VA TECH "We Remember"
website permission to play the song and post the lyrics as it sees fit.
Sincerely,
Robert W. Grimm &
Lewis R. Hauser

Thank you for everything you have done and we hope that there is a place for our song somewhere in the memorial. We have included a copy of our song on CD and a printout of the lyrics for your review. (BEST ENJOYED LOUD)</br>
</br>
We would like you to place this song somewhere on the VA TECH Memorial website. We played around with the tune for over a year but couldn't find the right words for the song. We knew we wanted it to be called "Dream Flying" and wanted the overall theme to be related to the title, but for some reason, the words were not forthcoming.</br>
</br>
Since I had been a student at VA Tech and Lewis' brothers were graduates, we both had a very real connection to Blacksburg and had spent a lot of time there. When we heard about the shootings, it seemed to be a catalyst for the words of the song to come together. We think of it as a song of hope that was inspired by a tragic event at a place that we both love. We don't explicitly reference any particular event, but feel that our song captures a "feeling" that we both shared after this terrible tragedy.</br>
</br>
The song is copyrighted, but we are giving the VA TECH "We Remember" website permission to play the song and post the lyrics as it sees fit.</br>
</br>
Sincerely,</br>
Robert W. Grimm &</br>
Lewis R. Hauser</br>

A written representation of a document.
[News Broadcast] Tens of thousands of students, faculty, and family members gathered yesterday at Virginia Tech to mourn the victims of Monday’s school massacre that left 33 people dead. It was the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history.
Somewhere a mother is identifying the body of her only son
A catholic, she crosses herself and begs the chosen one
For strength to reduce the shiv inside, her soul goes numb
Because there’s no bringing him back
When the cameras close new shows are done
Channel surfers listen lives are memorialized
The father misses his daughter and the more that he tries
To remember the times that were good, the more that he cries
The less he can sleep ‘cause every time he closes his eyes
He sees the fear in her heart, his heart skippin’ a beat
His stomach turns and his pain reaches so deep he can’t eat
In a hospital bed rest a boy who thinks it should have been him
Images he carrys hurt far worse than a bullet through skin
And he’s pretty sure he’d trade what’s infected his mind
For all his luck plus the two inches between the lead and his spine
And a brother calls a brother to tell him they’ve lost their mother
Thirty-two voices sing along each of them different from the others
[News Broadcast] The gunman has not yet been identified, but the university had just announced he was a student at the school who lived in the dorms. He shot dead two students at the dormitory shortly after seven o’clock Monday morning. Two hours later the gunman attacked an academic building. He shot dead thirty students and professors then killed himself.
A father reconsiders his decision to make his home in the land of opportunity
‘Cause the opportunities shown, made him believe it’s different
He left his baby on her own and now he carries a casket, in his heart he feels alone
A son calls his father a hero then he hangs up the phone
Warrior blood in his veins from the pain that his father’d known
What monsters had tried to do half a century in the past
The frustrated youth had done, the son didn’t have to ask
Another family lay in ruins
A mother with desperation to ponder as she folded her boy's flag
A soldier's death, no medal of honor
What do you tell a parent who put they had into raising their kids
And watched them go astray and couldn’t explain why they did
Who tried to give them what they had and couldn’t change how they lived
And hate themself for the fact they took away others kids
How do ease their pain, help them come to terms with their choices
They all sing the same song with 32 different voices
[News Broadcast] I’m really at a loss for words to explain or to understand the carnage that has visited our campus. I know no other- no other way to speak about this than to tell you what we know. Let me do that now. It is now confirmed that we have 31 deaths from the Norris Hall, including the gunman.
This song is dedicated to all of the families and victims involved in the shooting at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007 and all other victims of gun violence all over the world. May you all rest in peace.

[News Broadcast] The gunman has not yet been identified, but the university had just announced he was a student at the school who lived in the dorms. He shot dead two students at the dormitory shortly after seven o’clock Monday morning. Two hours later the gunman attacked an academic building. He shot dead thirty students and professors then killed himself.</br>
</br>
A father reconsiders his decision to make his home in the land of opportunity</br>
‘Cause the opportunities shown, made him believe it’s different</br>
He left his baby on her own and now he carries a casket, in his heart he feels alone</br>
</br>
A son calls his father a hero then he hangs up the phone</br>
Warrior blood in his veins from the pain that his father’d known</br>
What monsters had tried to do half a century in the past</br>
The frustrated youth had done, the son didn’t have to ask</br>
</br>
Another family lay in ruins</br>
A mother with desperation to ponder as she folded her boy's flag</br>
A soldier's death, no medal of honor</br>
</br>
What do you tell a parent who put they had into raising their kids</br>
And watched them go astray and couldn’t explain why they did</br>
Who tried to give them what they had and couldn’t change how they lived</br>
And hate themself for the fact they took away others kids</br>
How do ease their pain, help them come to terms with their choices</br>
They all sing the same song with 32 different voices</br>
</br>
[News Broadcast] I’m really at a loss for words to explain or to understand the carnage that has visited our campus. I know no other- no other way to speak about this than to tell you what we know. Let me do that now. It is now confirmed that we have 31 deaths from the Norris Hall, including the gunman.</br>
</br>
This song is dedicated to all of the families and victims involved in the shooting at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007 and all other victims of gun violence all over the world. May you all rest in peace.

Nicolle Freni
7th April 2008
Attn: Rene
Office of Recovery and Support
Virginia Tech
Dear Rene and all at Office of Recovery and Support,
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.'
The song is going to radio stations in Virginia and to the university in time for
the memorial services.
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.
With my Warmest Regards and True Sympathy to you all for your
community's loss.
Yours faithfully,
Nicolle Freni

A written representation of a document.
There’s a lone wailing in Virginia
Where a nation’s hearts beat as one
For the day in Blacksburg, Virginia
Where one man took so many with a gun
It’s a quiet, friendly place, Blacksburg, Virginia
Where the mountains and the rivers all run free
But it only takes one man with access to gun
And a hatred for all humanity
How does a hollow heart get wounded
How can we recognize the signs
When the worlds all connected now
So many wires tying up the lines
Can’t we bring ourselves to go and stop a crime
Why do so many have to die before we do
What we should have done before
Why do so many have to cry before we see the writing on the wall
Our nation learns a lesson about dying
When it happens on its own, Cherry told me
Now on some fallen shore
We’re in someone else’s war
But crying for its own young's destiny
Why do so many have to die before we do
What we should have done before
Why do so many have to cry before we see the writing on the wall
They say the right to bear arms is important
To protect yourself from others bearing arms
But the ones who say this aren’t yet broken
By seeing their loved ones made into pawns
Don’t they know about that love
That the loss of them diminishes us all
Don’t they see or are their hearts empty
There's enough death around without their war
America, America please listen
Your children embrace you in the sun
The hopes of generations lie hanging by a thread
At the mercy of anyone with a gun
Don’t let them kill your children one by one
No mercy, no mercy for the gun
There’s a lone wailing in Virginia
Where a nation's hearts beat as one
For the day in Blacksburg, Virginia
Where one man took so many with a gun
Don’t let them kill your children one by one
No mercy, no mercy for the gun

Dear Mrs. Flanagan</br>
</br>
Hi, my name is Jonathan Duerr and I am a 17 year old at Polytech High School in Woodside Delaware. I enjoy writing and singing songs in my spare time and was deeply affected by your tragedy on April 16 of this year. I wrote and sang the song that I have sent you in remembrance of that terrible day and I would be very much honored if you would listen to it. The name of the song is "Time of the Season". I send you my sincere thanks and greatest sympathies,</br>
</br>
Respectfully,</br>
Jonathan A. Duerr</br>

In a recent e-mail I sent you an electronic copy of the song, "Shine Through Our Tears," which was offered to help provide comfort and hope for the Hokie Nation. Enclosed find a CD and sheet music in case there is any interest in performing the song. Note that it has been arranged for choir and piano (as performed on the CD) and for choir with string quartet. Again, please feel free to utilize the song in any manners you deem appropriate.</br>
</br>
That we may serve,</br>
Edwin E. Darling</br>
Hokie Dad ('92 and '93)</br>
