Yesterday tragedy occurred at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, OR. Our hearts are broken to the families and the Bend community who lost three children and a teacher in the shooting yesterday. 💔
Words do not seem adequate in expressing our heartfelt condolences to the Bend/La-Pine communities. When a tragedy like this occurs to a community that supports our own so much, it's incredibly hard to grasp the reality that this could happen, especially at an Elementary School where such young children are playing & learning, and just starting their lives.
We hope for peace and understanding, and will continue to pray for the community as a whole, the individual families involved with the tragic loses, the first responders, all the staff, parents and children of Silver Rail Elementary School, and so many more who are affected by this event.
If you, or someone you know, is in crisis and needs to talk to someone; please call or text 988. Don't wait until something tragic or life ending occurs, please call now and get some help.❤️🩹
