God of resurrection, we remember before you those who have died, Erin West, Rubi Vergara and Natalie “Samantha” Rupnow, at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, WI. We commend them to your eternal love. Grant healing and wholeness to the survivors who are wounded or traumatized, and restore all whose spirits are maimed by such violence.
