Brookdale prayer vigil

It is with an extremely heavy heart and broken soul that the Brookdale Community mourns the loss of two innocent souls. Taken so abruptly and horribly from the families they brought happiness into. Such tragedy is gut wrenching and heart brokena and sobering. Their lives had yet begun and in a blink of an eye they were stolen from those that held them dear. Crimes against children are the most tragic and mind boggling of them all. To hear the reasoning behind them are almost meaningless. These excuses bring no solice or peace to those that mourn. They are merely words set adrift into the deep sadnesss caused by their loss. Our community is a strong one, parents who care, people who smile at you as you go by and children that bring such a joyful prescence to our community. This community was built for them, the children, it is centered around their needs and is enriched by their laugther... I dont know how to help but I know we have to try. We have to be there for these families in anyway we can. It is at these times that our community involvement is most important. Today at 2:30 our community is holding a prayer vigil for these children and our children within the community. Please take a moment and bow your head in prayer with us. Our children were taken too soon and they will not be forgotten.
