SHOOTING: Memo from the heart

The city of Parkland, Fla.

The Honorable Mayor Christine Hunschofsky

6600 University Drive

Parkland, FL 33067

Dear Mayor Hunschofsky and Commission:

We wish to express and extend our deepest heartfelt sympathy and prayers during this unimaginable time of tragedy to all those families that have suffered the loss of loved ones, the families whose loved ones have been injured and to all the residents of your fine city. We hope that it will be of some comfort for you to know that we like Americans across this vast land have you in our daily thoughts and prayers that you do not stand alone in this time of grief and sorrow.

Today, we were touched by the voices and statements from victims of previous mass shootings from around the country that shared their experiences of how they found strength during their time of tragedy through the support of a network of friends along with the entire community who were there for them. We know your community will do the same.

Again we extend a hand of friendship and love to all the residents of the city of Parkland. God be with you.

With Deep Sympathy,

CHRISTIE WOOD

President

TONY STEWART
