I am truly sorry about what happened to your children at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The children were precious babies, far too young to go through what happened. Those teachers and principal were strong, and tried to help in any way they could to protect them. My heart feels like breaking when I hear their names, or see their faces on the news. I want you to know that you are not alone, and the whole country is suffering with you. Even though we didn’t know them, we are still heartbroken about this horrible tragedy. Newtown, you are in our prayers, all the way from Houston.
