Wisconsin Shooting Victims Obituary
"There's a saying up her that this is a great place to raise kids," said Randy Van Gasse, the school superintendent in nearby Norway, Mich., where 17-year-old victim Tiffany Pohlson would have been a senior in the fall.
"That's been violated and we don't know why," he said. "This is obviously a shock to everybody."
The other dead were identified as Anthony Spigarelli, 18; and Bryan Mort, 19. A fourth victim, 20-year-old Daniel Louis Gordon, was wounded. All were also from Michigan.
Niagara is about 210 miles north of Milwaukee.

Even though it's been a year since this senseless violence took place, the chilling memory remains.
As you continue to pray for answers and for understanding as to
'Why' this tradegy happened, pray for strength and comfort to hang on.
Psalms 37:10&20 -
soon 'the wicked themselves will perish'

My sincere condolences to the families of these young ones. Though words cannot mend the wound left in your hearts, may you find true comfort from the only person that can guarantee us a solution to these types of problems: Jehovah God. He, "the God of all comfort", promises us, "Just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be" (2 Corinthians 1:3,4; Psalm 37:10). Not only will wicked ones be wiped off of the earth, but those who have been victims of their evil doings have another hope: to resurrect and reunite with their loved ones. As expressed in John 5:28,29, "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". Therefore, may the hope of seeing your beloved children once again, and seeing evil done away with, bring peace and comfort to your hearts during this difficult time.

I am very sorry for your loss of each of these kids. It's so sad that this world has came down too, the fact they can't swim in a local spot. I hope the families of all of the kids killed understand that god has planned out the way we are going to turn out, that plan is now and that plan is that the kids killed that day are angles watching over each and everyone of the family memeber and friends that they loved dearly. I hope each and everyone of the ones that lost a loved one keep the memories of them close to their hearts and keep their lives alive forever. My thoughts and prayer goes out to each of the family members and friend of the lost kids. God Bless each one of you.

To The families Of The Wisconsin Shooting Victims
At times like this when we don’t know what to do
Just talk to God and he will see you through
When words sometimes just won’t do and you don’t know what to say
Just talk to God and let him have his way
When friends and family come and go
Just remember that God has an open door
At times like this when words alone won’t do
May God Bless and Comfort you
With Deepest Sympathy

Music, when soft voices die
Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the belovèd's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.
