Some might have stood by, but you stood up. You gave your lives so that others might
live. We are indebted to you, we are humbled by you.
When all hope was lost, when the world seemed like a dark and heartless place, you
restored our faith in people and our trust in God. You taught us hope, and fearlessness,
and honor.
We miss you. We will never forget your heroism. We will teach our children and
grandchildren about your courage in the face of danger. We will try with all our might to
live up to the example you have set.
We will not ignore human suffering, we will not be indifferent to the cries of those in
pain; you did not die in vain. You have changed us. You live on inside us, in pride and
love.
May God watch over you as you watched over us.
Rest in Peace. Amen.
