Three years ago today, 32 innocent people were shot and killed on the campus of my alma mater, Virginia Tech. This is a card I made and sent to two families that we know that lost their children.

This is a wonderful Memorial Card, and I'm sure the recipients will be touched.
I went to your blog and read your account of that day. As a parent, I can't even BEGIN to wrap my mind around the horror for all concerned.
I remember this. I had gotten home from work and put the TV on to catch the news while making supper. That's when I first learned about it. I shut the stove off and just stood, thunderstruck, staring at the news report.
My husband came in and saw my face and it startled him. He at first thought something had happened to one of our kids. He came over to listen to the report with me. We were both horrified.
I wasn't yet a member of Splitcoast back then. If I had been, I would've joined the card drive.
