[letter to families of deceased] Dear Virginia Tech and its extended university community will be forever changed by the tragic and eternally mournful events of April 16. While we continue to hurt, we know that you have suffered more than anyone. You have lost that which is most precious -a loved one - a member of your own family. Please again accept my most sincere condolences and sorrow for your loss, a loss that is hard for anyone to imagine or understand. Counselors tell us that recovery differs for everyone. I know not your current state, but I wish for you wisdom and Godspeed for your personal situation. Today, we distribute the proceeds of the memorial contributions. I know that no amount of monies will brim back a loved one and that no dollars can relieve your loss. But, please know that these funds were given to Virginia Tech by a~umni,~friends, and even strangers who care deeply for all of us. People have entrusted to us to do what is right and appropriate. While there are many needs by many people, and will continue to be for some time, we felt that the best way to help the healing process, to continue down the road of recovery, is to distribute these monies to you. We leave to you how best use them for your needs. We thank you for sharing with us your thoughts and ideas while you struggled to cope. We trust the process is better because of that. On behalf of the Virginia Tech community, I extend to you our prayers and very best wishes. Very sincerely yours, Charles W. Steger President

Dear

Virginia Tech and its extended university community will be forever changed by the tragic and eternally mournful events of April 16. While we continue to hurt, we know that you have suffered more than anyone. You have lost that which is most precious -a loved one - a member of your own family.

Please again accept my most sincere condolences and sorrow for your loss, a loss that is hard for anyone to imagine or understand. Counselors tell us that recovery differs for everyone. I know not your current state, but I wish for you wisdom and Godspeed for your personal situation.

Today, we distribute the proceeds of the memorial contributions. I know that no amount of monies will brim back a loved one and that no dollars can relieve your loss. But, please know that these funds were given to Virginia Tech by a~umni,~friends, and even strangers who care deeply for all of us. People have entrusted to us to do what is right and appropriate.

While there are many needs by many people, and will continue to be for some time, we felt that the best way to help the healing process, to continue down the road of recovery, is to distribute these monies to you. We leave to you how best use them for your needs.

We thank you for sharing with us your thoughts and ideas while you struggled to cope. We trust the process is better because of that. On behalf of the Virginia Tech community, I extend to you our prayers and very best wishes.
