On April 20,1999---
two students in black trench coats killed 12 schoolmates and a teacher Tuesday at Columbine High School, most of them in the library. The gunmen, Eric Harris, 18, and Dylan Klebold, 17, then apparently killed themselves. they were called the ``Trenchcoat Mafia.''
Letter From Heaven To my dearest family: There are some things I'd like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through. God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you. It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on. I need you here badly, you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man." God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years. Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; But together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too; That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain; Then you can say to God at night...... "My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low; Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free. Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me. ~Author~ Ruth Ann Mahaffey ©Copyright 1998_2001

~ In Heaven By My Side ~
Who died before their time Are with Me in My heaven Their hearts are intertwined These students from Columbine And all of those who passed On that violent day below Are etched in my stained-glass All the families left behind Who feel this grief untold Remember that I love them They are precious as all gold I never will forget the pain They are going through Your children and your family Are watching over you I gently kissed their faces When they walked into this Light I greeted them with Angels Triumphantly and bright I will care for them forever You will see them all once more They are just with me for now until They meet you at My door It takes some time to heal your heart My Arms reach out to you I just want you to realize You are always in their view I love you with all my Heart Your family I will keep Forever in the Arm's of Love In My Heaven they now sleep.

Memorial Service
An estimated 70,000 people attended a memorial service Sunday for the students who were killed or wounded at Columbine High School on Tuesday. Governor Bill Owens, Vice President Al Gore and others delivered tributes to the students and faculty of the school, Gore saying "all of us must change our lives to honor these children, More than ever, I realize every one of us is responsible for all of the children".
The crowd was twice as large as organizers expected. Strangers stood side by side, hugging and crying together and clutching flowers, teddy bears and balloons. 13 white doves were released at the end of the service as the Governor read the names of the 13 victims. Christian entertainers, including Amy Grant, sang at the service, which was held in the parking lot of a movie theater.
