I`m so proud that Rachel Scott and Cassie Barnell belive in God. I`m on of them too. I belive in God strong too. Belive in faith. Not religion.

Rocky Mountain Tears Sometimes when it rains hard, some people say it pours. On April 20, 1999, there were dead students lying on a schools floors. No words can replace what people felt, every American cried. All the trapped students, they just wanted to get outside. Fourteen students and a teacher touched the face of God today. They will never return, lets hope God makes the suspects pay. Cassie Bernall, never will return to church, she is with the Lord. Steven Curnow, never will Fly a Plane, he carrys heavens sword. Corey Depooter, will miss school again, but Jesus forgave every sin. Kelly Fleming, wrote of her life experiences, today she met her fate. Matthew Kechter, wanted to play football, but got drafted at heavens gate. Daniel Mauser, was a cross country runner, now he runs heavens track. Daniel Rohrbough, helped students to safety, a Hero We can't get back. Rachel Scott, had a lead in a school play, now all we can do is pray. Isaiah Shoels, bench-pressed twice his weight, he died because of hate. John Tomlin, built a house for poor people, and then got to live with Jesus forever. Lauren Townsend, was consumed by volleyball, We lost someone that was clever. Kyle Velasquez, was doing his time on earth, then he was forced into a heavenly rebirth. William Sanders, was a teacher, directed students to safety, then he died. This massacre, at Columbine High School, was the reason why everyone cried. The worst school shooting in history, is not an honor that any city wants to win. Dylan Klebold, and Eric Harris, God should make you pay for your sin. Goodbye lost students, may you rest in peace, for all time. God Bless your Families, We feel too, because of the awful crime. Everyday, in every school, there will be an abundance of certain fears. Everytime it rains in Colorado, those are Heavens Rocky Mountain Tears. Specially Written By Chris Childers April 28, 1999

The only mistake Bill Clonton ever made was helping these people raise the money to build this collassal eye sore. I am saying that as someone who lived in the area when the shooting took place and watched the parents of the victims bully everyone around them to get their way. This memorial is about a bunch of nasty people who happened to be related to some people who died in a tragedy. It is certanly not about the victims that day it is about people Brian Rohrbough, and Misty Bernall, who used the tragedy to make a quick buck and force their religous views on everyone around them; all because hey were victims. This "memorial" symbolyzes greed and idiocy and I hope at some point it is torn down.
