The mom didn't have to say a single word. I could feel her pain through my screen 😞

[@UnaliveRacism]

What broke me is that he didn’t see his daughter come out but he was still trying to comfort the other little children. He knew she might not be coming out but that he still had to help the little kids. Such a good heart. So tragic.

[@mayaperez5798]

I broke down to tears when the father said that her little sisters still don't understand that she is not coming home 😭😭😭

[@lrcraider]

“I had the Honor of calling her my daughter”. Wow God bless these poor families, these words hit inside my soul n broke my heart 😢

[@daniellekrammel4211]

His only daughter???? My heart dropped to the floor when he said that. We only have one and I cannot fathom their loss. Praying for these families.

[@chevroletd5638]

the “she was” or “he was” is just heartbreaking to hear, or “wanted” “one day” it’s just horrible.. Rip to all of the children and teachers !! ❤️🙏

[@heelzod6544]

I lost my daughter at 22 days old. This hurts my heart for that family.

[@lyssaa777]

To hear these parents say "she was" or "he was" about children who haven't even hit 15 years is heartbreaking. God bless these families please lord!

“She wanted to be a cheerleader and was already planning her quinceañera - 5 years away.” These were children. Babies with a whole life ahead of them, dreams and aspirations. My heart goes out to all of the grieving families and friends. I have a younger sister and brother. Both so full of life. They mean everything to me. It would break me to lose them. RIP little angels ❤️

“ I had the honor of calling her my daughter” hit me… rip to all these beautiful children and victims who lost there lives ❤️‍🩹

[@isabelofficial2562]

Happy birthday to Eli, she would’ve been 10 years old today. June 4th. It’s just so sad how her and the other childrens lives been taken so suddenly. Poor babies. No one and their family should worry about their kids bein in danger in school.

[@marieleblanc759]

The first mother and Father got me crying. Her silence is just as heartbreaking as if she were to verbally express her feelings. May God give ALL these victims families comfort in these difficult times. Rest in heaven babies and the staff as well who lost their lives ❤️🙏🕊️

When you lose your husband, you’re called a widow.

[@JayagopalSunderrajan]

The dad mentioned he was waiting 6 hours to see his daughter come out.. and which never happened. Cannot even imagine those 6 hours how it would have been. God please give all the strength to all these families.

[@erikme9269]

Heard someone say “you never get over a loved one passing, you just learn to manage”. 😔

[@helenahouser-jackson3151]

RIP little Ellie, Amerie, and the rest of the children you guys so beautiful and loved!! Prayers to her family and their healing. Prayers to all the parents, family, and friends that are affected!!! Fly High Babies you are with God now🙏🏽🙌🏽🕊🖤🕊

[@maric6386]

“This is the result that we got” My heart omg. I know these parents will be blaming themselves, especially knowing she wanted to stay home. I’m hoping they know it’s NOT their fault. I hope one day everyone affected by this horrific act finds peace. I’m so sorry to every parent who had to live thru this and every other senseless act just like this.

[@SincerelyGeet]

The father that helped other kids feel safe but lost his broke my heart. This is absolutely devastating and the fact that she was an only child

[@katieprandle5613]

The saddest thing I've ever seen. The pain in that mother's face. Rest in peace to all of the beautiful children killed in such a senseless way.

[@bridgetpainter8194]

My deepest condolences to all the families who have lost their Angel's, a huge hole left in their lives. There are no words. From Scotland.
