They are a very private people, they keep to themselves or to trusted friends. They are a very religious group, deeply rooted in their faith and their families. It is a very sad day when a cowardly mad man decides to act his rage against 12 little girls. Girls! Small darling girls in braids and dresses! I just pray that their families can feel peace and love soon from this tradgedy. I've already heard on the news that some of the victim's family members have approached this lunatic's family and told them that they can grieve and mourn together.
Because that is the kind of people the Amish are. Forgiving and gentle.

Oh, Andrea, I hear you about these terrible shootings. We have Amish neighbors right next door and across the street...but of course, it's just horrible, no matter who you are. I am particularly upset with the media who insist on taking photos of these grieving people, when the Amish do not believe in having their photos taken. People need to have more respect. And the fact that the shooter had a seven year old daughter just boggles my mind...
BTW...GREAT new fall banner!!!
I'm sick about the Amish shootings. I can't imagine this was the first sign that this man had a problem. Wouldn't it be nice if the milk truck driver had gotten some mental health help BEFORE he created such a tragedy?
It truly was a tragic thing.. I don't understand either.. it makes me sick.
I love your header... very nice.

Heartbroken about this horrible tragedy.
The Amish are such peacful people and I can't stop thinking about the families of the girls who were lost. I did not sleep at all that night. I can't imagine the pain they are dealing with. Praying for them all and thanking God for keeping my two little girls safe. Giving them extra big hugs when I picked them up from school.
