Sympathy and Support

[David Atkinson]

On this very sad day, I can do little but express my extreme sorrow and horror at the events of yesterday.   My heart goes out to all who felt the fear, the panic and the hurt which was inflicted on so many innocent people going about their daily lives.  To those who responded so readily to help those victims only to become victims themselves and to the many who remain in fear, unsure whether their loved ones and friends are alive or not.   Like Tom, I can make no sense whatsoever in such acts.  I fail to see how such actions move anything forward.   I pray to God that those responsible are seen to be brought to justice so that other fanatics who may consider this an opportunity are completely aware of the consequences of whatever actions they may consider.   Our thoughts are with you all.   Sheila and David Atkinson
