1. We're going to a memorial service at our church tomorrow.

One of the dead and four of the wounded moved from our congregation to Knoxville last year.

And we're all connected, in any case.

14. K & R - Hope the healing is felt by all soon - Prayers and love sent their way.

It is such a shame that this man was pushed to do this by such hateful people like Savage & Hannity!

I hope the members of the congregations will find peace soon and feel the love that is sent their way by many many people.
