Norway Bombing and Shooting Victims Obituary
The island tragedy Friday unfolded hours after a massive explosion ripped through a high-rise building housing the prime minister's office, killing seven people in a scene some likened to the aftermath of 9/11.
The same man — a blonde-blue eyed Norwegian with reported Christian fundamentalist, anti-Muslim views — is suspected in both attacks. He has been preliminarily charged with acts of terrorism.
On the island of Utoya, panicked teens attending a Labour Party youth wing summer camp plunged into the water or played dead to avoid the assailant in the assault that may have lasted 30 minutes before a SWAT team arrived, police said.
Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said the twin attacks made Friday peacetime Norway's deadliest day.
"This is beyond comprehension. It's a nightmare. It's a nightmare for those who have been killed, for their mothers and fathers, family and friends," Stoltenberg told reporters Saturday. He said he would meet victims later in the day on Utoya.
The toll in both attacks reached 76 Saturday, and police said that could still rise as they search the waters around the island for more bodies. Acting Police Chief Roger Andresen said he did not how many people were still missing. The Oslo University hospital said it has so far received 11 wounded from the bombing and 16 people from the camp shooting.

Warm Summer Sun
Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

Det finnes ingen grenser når det gjelder kjærlighet og sympati. Vi er alle den samme menneskefamilien, og vi gråter sammen når våre kjære blir borte. Det som skjedde i deres vakre land kan ikke forklares med ord, og jeg håper at vi aldri vil komme til å oppleve noe liknende igjen. Mine kondolanser går til alle de sørgende familier, og jeg sender min kjærlighet til Norge og alle de fantastiske menneskene som lever der. Dere har flere venner enn dere tror.

As the sun will rise today
For your children,we will pray.
Hold their light within your heart
As there you know you're not apart.
Look to the sun to remember how they shone
Then you'll see the'yre never gone.
Tell them all you'd want to say
When you see them shining down on you each day.
Dedicated to all the parents who lost a beautiful soul.Peace be with you in your dark hours.

I send deepest condolence to The Royal Family, Government Officials and citizens throughout Norway ! This horrific tragedy touches everyone to the core of their being.
Those that died--may they have eternal peace in Heaven. Each of you will certainly be missed, cherished, and honored for all the wonderful contributions you had made on Earth. Those that survived and the families left behind -- may each of you continue to receive emotional and physical comfort always.
Life is the most precious gift! We have to be there for each other, bringing forth our strong compassion, and skills to help heal those who have had to face horrible circumstances.
Norway needs us and we much answer from our hearts. There is a tremendous amount of healing to experience -- from the second this nightmare started and beyond for years to come.
Please know I am there in Spirit, holding your hand and hugging your broken hearts !

To my dearest family, 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'm 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.
But 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 has been 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.

My heart goes out to all the families who have lost loved ones is this terrible tragedy. Many tragedies occur because people are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Random events affect more people and thus cause more suffering. But, HOPE AT LAST!
"Can you see with your mind's eye, people dwelling together? Sorrow has passed. Peace at last! Life without tears or pain. In those days old will grow young. Flesh revived as in childhood. Troubles are gone, from now on. No need to weep or fear. Paradise all will enjoy! Give thanks to the Creator of life, in all His glory. Long as we live, we give to our Maker thanks. Have joy of heart! You to can have a part. Live for the day when you'll say: "Life without out end at Last!"

When death reaches into our families and snatches away our loved one, the shock of loss can be the severest emotional blow of our lives. Grief is so difficult to endure that we suffer sleepless nights, empty days and a feeling of not knowing how to go on. God sees our tears and pain of heart. For He is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves. He is healing the brokenhearted ones. He is there giving support to all who are falling, and is raising up all who are bowed down. So that the power beyond what is normal may be God’s and not that out of ourselves to help you go from one day to next.
My thoughts are with the families and frieds during this most difficult time.
