Lest we forget!

The tribute was left by Juan J. Callejas on June 30th 2015

May the peace that "surpasses all understanding" continue to be lit for those who are blinded by hate as well as for the protection of the future generations that walk the earth.

With deepest sympathy.

My heart continues to grieve for each of you. My sincerest and deepest sympathy to your families and loved ones. May we never forget your sacrifice and grace.

We are with you from Connecticut. Our experience with Newtown showed us we truely need the presence of God to heal. My prayers to all the family members.

What a message of grace was delivered by the family members and church. God has a witness in Charleston.

Our sadness is beyond words. I am a stranger, yet profoundly linked to these wonderful saints. Light will overcome the darkness. This young man was ensnsared in the lies of the enemy - caught in a web. May Jesus strengthen the families of all victims and the body of Christ. Together we are one in him. and bring this young man out of the tragic dark, dark darkness and into the love and forgiveness of Jesus. Free him now Lord, Jesus.

Peace.

Know that we are all with you in prayer, love and light.
Their souls are watching over us and they have us in their sight.
When you look up to the heavens, with heavy hearts and tears,
The angles will wrap you in love for all your remaining years!

Rest in Peace

During a time of reflection and study, no one would think their lives would be at risk. We live in an unpredictable world and must cherish every moment. I'm comforted by the power of the prayers this group sent up during their time together. Their longer term belief in fighting for peace, equality and justice truly mattered. Your lives were taken way too soon, but our Lord needs you now. Rest, rejuvenate and Reunite us in your spirit. May you iive a blessed time in heaven. Nancy J. Di Dia

The strength you & your loved ones have shown is a beacon of hope for the world

My prayers and condolences to all of the families, friends and communities affected by this senseless violence

If there is a message in your passing, I pray that we can all grasp it.
Be well, and rest in peace

Amazing Grace and forgiveness. Hate won't win! We will continue to press on. We must.

Ignorance and indifference produced harm and sorrow, but your collective sacrifice produces reconciliation, forgiveness and compassion.Peace and blessings to your families and the AME Community.
