Sean's Fund

Sean McQuade's family issued a statement and the last part reads:

"We may never be able to rationalize what has occurred yet we hope that everyone will be able to recover and grow stronger in mind body and spirit... in God we trust."

Forever Changed (we're all Hokies Today)

Kurtis Parks. Josh Kim. 4.18.07

On just an ordinary day,

A weapon drawn, and lives forever changed

One act of violence made the world stop and watch

And on a drillfield by candlelight we prayed

And with questions on our minds, we wonder where the future lies

As we look up to heaven with hope in our eyes

Where do we go from here

Can we overcome this fear

And find a healing for the pain, and see the sun beyond the rain

We've got the strength to endure,

And soon we'll feel more secure

In a world filled with hate, we need to become something great

Oh God, send your mercy this way, for we're all Hokies today

Verse 2:

And to the ones who fell that day

In our hearts your love will never fade away

We're picking up the pieces to build a better tomorrow

We'll find a joy, to move on from the sorrow

By the color of the leaves, you know He has us on his mind

So we look up to heaven with hope in our eyes

Where do we go from here

Can we overcome this fear

And find a healing for the pain, and see the sun behind the rain

We've got the strength to endure,

And someday we'll feel more secure

In a world full of hate, we need to become something great

Oh God, send your mercy this way, cuz we're all Hokies today

The spirit lives on, don't let it be gone, let it shine forever

And through the heartbreak, for the lost and their sakes, let it bring us together
