As I watched the news today about how these families prepare for the funerals, my heart goes out to them! What is most touching is to hear them speak of FORGIVENESS to the family of the shooter, and also the shooter himself! Our family will be praying!
Sincerely,
The Meyers

The Amish community that was affected by this tragedy has actually set up 2 trust funds at a local bank. One is for the victims' families and the other is for the Robert's family. They set up a trust fund for the children of the shooter. Keep in mind, for the most part the Amish bury their money in boxes on their properties. So this is a huge deal in so many ways for them.
Their once peaceful quiet way of life has been deluged with media vans, reporters, people, attention. I can't imagine the long-term affects that this tragedy will have on this community.
But I think we can all take a lesson about forgiveness away from this horrific tragedy.
Keep them in your prayers.

One can only see teeth gnashing, spiteful, demon wracked, revengeful people all around us..calling for the death sentence.." wait !...I'll even pull the lever myself...or push the syringe in by myself" attitudes around us.....
The Amish have their values in order....... They believe...the rest of us only quote scripture to back our feeble and pathetic revengeful humanistic values....
IMO
