We, the brothers of Alpha Sigma Phi Local Fraternity, based in Pomona New Jeresy wish to express our outmost sympathy for the hardships that the victims of of the Federal buildign bombing are going through. To find a silver lining in an incident like this may seem like an impossible task, but to see the entire country, unified now in a concentrated effort to bring relief and comfort to those affected by this horrible tragedy, is a expression of patriotism and human kindness beyond all measure. May god lead you towards a healing of the body and soul and may justice be brought against those that deserve it. With the utmost sincerity and sympathy,
-The Brothers of Alpha Sigma Phi Local Fraternity Stockton College, Pomona New Jersey
No matter where I am or what I am doing my thoughts keep going back to you people in Oklahoma and I say prayers for comfort and healing. I would like to be there to physically assist in the rescue efforts, but have no special skills in that direction. This is every mother's nightmare and I pray for you all.
-Jan Enright and family in Manitou Springs, Colorado
From California - we have had many tragedies lately here in our state, but none as bad as what has occurred in Oklahoma City. I believe it was the first time I couldn't read a story in the newspaper all the way through because tears were blinding my eyes. I have cried only one time before regarding a news story and that was when the Challenger blew up. Many prayers are with all that survived and for the repose of those souls who perished. God Bless All of You!
-Barbara Bellemare
I think I speak for all of my fellow friend from New Jersey, when I say that we are sorry that such a tradgedy occured. I am 12 years old, and my school is going to begin a coin drop, to help you in Oklahoma City. We had success with a coin drop last year, and purchased several acres of rain forest. Good luck! Sincerely,
-Matt Lanza
I can't say i know how it feels to lose everything. I can say that all of America feels your pain. I can't shake the feeling that I had when I saw those innocent babies being carried out dead. I know that everyone must be feeling unbearable pain. I know that I can't make your pain go away, but i hope and pray that someday you'll be able to deal with your grief and not hurt so much. Remember America is right beside you.
-Lindsey Daniels
We have been deeply touched by the tragedy the victims of the Oklahoma bombing have experienced. As with many other Americans, we're unable to understand why such an act of violence would be committed on innocent people, especially children. Our prayers and thoughts will be with you always. - God Bless All of You - Our Deepest Sympathy,
-Tara C. & Karen D. Springfield, VA

-Matthew B. Hume
Dear Survivors...
You're public stamina and grace under the glare of media insensitivity to your feelings is
commendable. Your experience was not just some national story to be stolen by the press, as was
attempted over and over, but was a personal devastation. All of you who showed up on CNN etc,
were very tactful in expressing the personal nature of your experience and not caving in to the
media presuppositions that your loss is fodder for increased media ratings.
The predominant message I heard from Okans was "something good will come out of this." Thank
you and God Bless You.
-blaine fairchild
I realized during this tragedy how a nation can pull together to help those who are grieving and in pain. It seems we as a nation should do this more often not just during a tragedy.

My husband and I would like to express our most deep condolences for
all that you are going through right now. I have not experience something so
castastrophic as this, but I did suffer a loss when my father was killed in a

to loose someone you love.
Pray to God, as we are, that justice is done.

A week has gone by and still tears come easily at the news -- of the tragedy, the losses, the bravery, the stamina. The children.

The only positive that I can find in this whole ordeal is that it has allowed people across the globe the opportunity to see exactly how kind the people of Oklahoma truly are especially in the face of a crisis. National news people have expressed wonderment at the warm reception they have received, and at the togetherness that they have witnessed. I lived in Oklahoma for the past 20 years, so it did not come as a surprise to me. Each time I see a story about how people are helping out, it only makes me miss Oklahoma more. I may not still physically live in Oklahoma, but I will always call Oklahoma my home, and not a moment goes by that I do not think about the victims, their families and friends, and all of the wonderful people helping out.
-Jack Carnefix
how can we all put on paper what we fill in our hearts.
-james henderson
The pain and suffering you, the good people of Oklahoma City, have suffered, is nearly beyond comprehension. Yet, we are far from untouched or unmoved by your terrible loss. Your grief is shared by everyone the world over who deplores the despicable act of terrorism that has cost you so dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and it is with the utmost sincerity that we, along with your many friends and neighbors here in Texas, say, "Let the healing begin." With heartfelt sympathy -
-The R.J. Kinghorn Family
To the victims of the Oklahoma City bombing -
I would like all of you who have suffered so terribly from this most
horrendous act against humankind that not a moment has gone by in the past
week that I have not thought of your pain. It is inconceivable for me to
understand or grasp your emotions at this time -- or in the near future.
It has made all of us hug our children a little tigher, be kinder to our
family, and be more patient with the little inconveniences in our lives.
The courage you all have shown have been an inspiration for the rest of us.
As time goes on, and the media finally lives your area, and you are left to
re-build your lives, never think that you are alone. When the night is heavy,
when your thoughts are the worse, never think that you are alone. People all
over the world will still be thinking of you and how you are doing.
My thoughts with you all always in hope that one day the pain will ease.

-JENNIFER Gowesky
This act has terrorized the entire nation. The folks in Oklahoma are bearing the burden of carrying this with them forever. Although the person(s) may be caught there is nothing anyone can do to justify or turn back what happened. No punishment could be dolled out that would be severe enough or would make things right.These people have an incredible journey to trod. I offer my prayers that God will provide them the strength to persurver.

Please know that in the midst of your grief and mourning you are joined by many patriots like me, who believe that this country stands for things greater than the hate and twisted vengeance of this act. We must all take responsibility for making this a better place to live and to love one another and we will all help to carry this burden of grief for a very long time to come. God bless you all.

-Morgiana P. Halley, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England
Please accept one more expression of sympathy for the tragic results of these misguided sociopaths. They make no political platform on the rubble and bodies which is their statement. Although this specific act probably could not have been prevented, their choice of the time of day to execute their plan clearly was premeditated murder. I pray that the government and the Lord seek and destroy ALL who were involved in this act of terrorism.

To the residents of Oklahoma City and their rescuers:
Watching the support, love, tremendous effort and time you all
contributed, makes me proud to be an American. My heart goes out to all
the victims, those who survived, and those who did not.
Newscasts tend to paint their own pictures- what can your fellow citizens
do for all of you now? What do you REALLY need from us?
-Susan Albert, Baltimore, Maryland
My heartfelt condolences go out to all those personally affected by the tragedy which struck your city. My deepest appreciation and admiration are extended to all those who have worked tirelessly on behalf of those affected by the tragedy. The tragedy dealt our nation a terrible blow, and I think we all share in this great loss.
-Michael J. Smith, University of Delaware
Having two children the age of those killed in the senseless bombing of the federal building, we offer our deepest sympathy and preyers. My heart was aching during a broadcast of a "CNN" piece in which they showed a mother talking about the loss of her two children. We cannot even begin to imagine the pain & sorrow one would feel at a time when your whole family has been eliminated. We wish we lived closer so that we would be able to offer our time to help in any way. In closing we would like to commend all those who have volunteered there time to help out, especially the hundreds of people who are not visible on the cameras daily.
-The Martells, Dartmouth, N.S., Canada
May God bring comfort to all of you in this time of sorrow and anguish. We, unfortunately live in an imperfect world where evil exsist. Try to take comfortin knowing that those who death has taken from us are now in the glory of God. The thoughts and prayers of the world are with you.
-Stan Jackson, OCGA
I woke up this morning, 1 week after this terrible tragedy with a heavy
heart. I have been praying for all of you all week. I know that it seems
hard to understand, but don't be bitter. Please seek out God and the
comfort that he brings. 8 years ago I lost my wife to cancer at age 38.
That experience will never be the same as the pain that you feel, but the
word that I would share is that "we must go on!"
Psalm 46:1 says, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in
time of need." We must all cling to this verse! Please remember that "We
must go on!"
I will continue to pray in the weeks and months ahead!

To the people of Oklahoma City:
I want to salute your courage in coping with last week's tragedy. I am so
impressd at the way the city and the state have banded together to deal with
this horrible situation, from the droves of blood donors, to the hundreds
who brought dry clothing to the rescue workers, and especially, to the
police and firefighters and volunteers who continue to comb the building.
You have not let the act of madmen destroy your spirit and you are pulling
together to help everyone who needs it in the aftermath. You have restored
my faith in the basic goodness of human nature. My thoughts and prayers
remain with you in the weeks to come.

-Jeri Strickland, Calgary, Alberta Canada
I just wanted to write and let the people of Oklahoma City know that they are in my prayers. There isnt a day that goes by that I dont think of them and the lost that they are having to deal with. I wanted to remind then that they should love the sinner (people who did this act) and hate the sin (the bombing). I understand that this is hard to do, since it is still so close to the crime, but it is what Christ told us to do and it is what we should do. Sincerly,
-Kelly McMillan
l The terrible tragedy that struck your city has been on my mind almost non-stop since April 19. I can't even begin to comprehend what the surviving victims (including friends and family) of this horrendous crime must be going through. No one should ever have to endure such pain.

Prayers and hope for a better future..

-Mary Miller
To the people of Oklahoma, from a former Edmond neighbor, I am sorry for your losses. However, I am not surprised at the resiliency of the Oklahoma spirit to help those in need. I remember the Edmond tornado of 1986. Although not as devastating as this bombing, it proves Oklahoma's commitment to its fellow man. I'm proud of the Governer, the Mayor, all city officials and volunteers, and proud to say I'm from Oklahoma.
-John Ferrell, Kansas City, Missouri USA
I can't imagine anybody being so heartless to bomb the Federal Bldg. in Oklahoma, with little children and working people inside. We live in a world of sick people. I want to extend sincere sympathy to all the families. I commend all the volunteers working behind the scenes to rescue whoever they could and recover the bodies of others. I know we do not see everybody on T.V. who is giving freely of their time to help other. God Bless All of You for the work you are doing. Sincerely
-Doreen O'Brien
Dear Neighbors, Mine and my family's thoughts and prayers are with you constantly. We grieve for your pain and loss and hunger for justice in your name.

-The Osborne Family
I hope that all who have been effected, find the courage to move on. I'm not so sure I could under these circumstances. Maybe all the prayers and the e-mail responses will help ease the pain. There are still many people who love and care in the world! -
-Mike Cofrin, Louisville, KY -
Since the tragedy, I have had an overwhleming urge to go to Oklahoma and offer my help and support. I have three children under the age of four who all attend the same daycare. I can't even imagine the pain and suffering felt by the parents and other victims. Since I cannot be there in person, please feel the strength that we are all sending your way and lean on us.

I want you who see this to know that all across the country we are very sad even if this tragedy in no way affects us directly. I cannot begin to imagine the depth of your grief, but you are all in my prayers daily. I am believing for your peace and comfort as your grieve and for the safety of the workers and the wisdom of the police as they try to find out who did this. May God be with you all,

No words can bring back the lives taken from us nor will they do much to ease the sorrow, so I encourage all families and loved ones to place yourselves in the loving arms of God. After all, that too is where you'll find these little ones. God loves you all, God is in control, God is the Final Judge, God IS. From our families to yours, our prayers are with you...
