To Oxford High School Students,
What you went through last year was horrifying and since you are teens and your brains are still forming you have been hurt so soon. Tate, Justin, Hana and Madisyn are all heroes and you will never forget them: : THEY DID NOT DESERVE TO DIE. Although I live in Northern VA near the Dulles Airport, I feel your pain immensely. I will NEVER forget these kids. Yes, I have a 16 year old grandson at a high school in Leesburg, VA and would be grief stricken if anything that happened to him like Tate who was also 16. One of things you can do is stop by now to the Myres, Shillings, St. Julianas and Baldwins to share the good times you had with their children. May God grant peace and comfort to you young OHS Wildcats.
