God Bless you in Crandon. My wife and I grew up not far from town and news of this tragedy really affected us. Our hearts go out to you all

Memories of all As we remember the ones that were here for a short time, we all need to remember the smiles, the jokes as if it were today as in always. We need to look up at the sky as we do things and say that is what they are doing and having all the fun in the world. Many might say how can a person think this unless they have gone through this themselves, well we have 17 years ago we still keep on remembering all the memories that we had in a short time to keep up the strength to move on. We need to be there for each other if only a smile, a kind word, a hug or even laughter of something that we have remembered that one of them may have said or done. We need to be here for each of us a Chunk, Bradley, Leann, Jordanne, Lyndsey, Katreinia and Tyler would want us all to be. They are all Angels watching over us . They are your angels Charlie keep getting better.

My heart goes out to all of you in crandon. I know how it feels to lose a loved one. There was a shooting in my town in Delavan wisconsin just a short time ago over the same thing and my friend was one killed and so I feel for all of you. You all are in my hearts and Im sorry to hear of you losses. Forever and Always

Eau Claire and Altoona friends are praying for God's strength, peace, and guidance through this difficult time.

I pray that peace may come to all the families of all the victims. I grew up in Crandon and miss the closeness that the people of Crandon has always been known for. I pray that God will give peace to the entire Community.

My heart aches at the thought of what has happened to these young and innocent individuals that will be missed by so many. I will continue to keep their family and friends in my prayers.

I'm Praying for all the families and for everyone in Crandon,this will take time and God . i'm sure Crandon will never be the same,without these good kids ,they will be missed by all God Bless To Crandon!

I am sending my deepest Sympathy to all of the families. My prayers and thoughts are with you's.

There is no greater loss then the loss of a child. We as a family experienced that ourselves. Know that in time there will be a few less tears, a few more memories, and in time a few more smiles. Keep in touch with your families, your church and your church families. Lean to the Lord for support, keep your faith strong. Our hearts go out to all the families, and their freinds. Our prayers are with you today, tomorrow and for a long time. Stay strong and keep yourselves busy. We have said our ANGEL (Joey) awaits the arrival of the NEW CRANDON ANGELS. They are in HEAVEN now and what a glorious place to be.

I grew up in Crandon, now live in Colorado Springs, CO. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone from my hometown. I can't beleive that this happened, I am still in shock. I cried when I found out, I knew most of the victims and their families. My heart goes out to the friends and families. God Bless to all of you.

May the Angels Of heaven watch over you all

He will be graduating Army AIT November 2, 2007 and will try to get leave to come and visit and be with you. Please call our home to get in touch anytime 618-993-2707. Sincerely, James' Mom.

I just have to say that I am deeply saddened by what has happened with all involved. I could never imagine losing a loved one and my heart lays heavy with sorrow and grief for the families of all seven. It's going to be a hard time in Crandon because everybody knows everyone in some way or another, but luckily we have a community filled with people who have come together to be there for one another in this tragic time.

As a part-time Forest County resident for all of my nearly 60 years and the great grandson of one of the county's pioneers, I am so deeply saddened by moment of horror that visited this wonderful community last weekend. I know that in coming weeks, the word "closure" will be used a lot to describe what Crandonites will need to do to get on with their lives. But in a greater sense, there will never be complete closure. And that is good. Because that means the memories of six wonderful young people will live on in the years and decades to come. Crandon will slowly, but never completely, recover from its massive loss. The hurt and the pain will live on, dulled with time, but never totally extinguished. I extend my deepest condolences to the families who lost their beautiful children. Know that they will be remembered as long as there is life on this planet.

I am not from the the Crandon area but live in WI and am very sad to hear about the horrible tragedy! My heart goes out to all of the family's! I feel very bad for the Peterson family and hope people don't be mean to them as none of this was there fault!!!!!!!!

My deepest sympathy to the residents of Crandon. My heart goes out to each victim's family and friends. I just can't imagine a day where no one in that town is smiling.

my parents are from crandon wis. i have alot of relatives still living there i have visited crandon a few times . i loved crandon wis. i am related to two of the victims it is so sad what happened, cant believe it happened there crandon is such a peaceful town . may god bless them all

When i first heard about what had happened i was in shock. I couldn't believe what i was hearing. I grew up in crandon and i still live here. I was really good friends with LiAnna and Katrina. They were amazing people. When you were around them there was never a dull moment. I didnt know the other victims very well but they all went to Crandon School. I hung out with LiAnna a lot when we were younger. I keep thinking about how whenever i got back from lunch at school she would always run up to me and give me a hug. I am going to miss that a lot. I know that there was a lot of people who got interviewed by the press that flooded the streets of Crandon, a few that i wish would have never said anything. There are still rumors going around that are very hurtfull to the families of the victims and Tylers family. I am amazed that after everything that happened all the families of the victims are not holding anything against Tyler's family. They are suffering from their loss too and i hope that everyone can be as understanding as they are. The road to recovery will be slow and hard but we are a strong community where everyone knows everyone. R.I.P LiAnna and Katrina, i love you both.

I would just like to say how sorry I am...All the families will be in my thoughts. I am so very sorry for the loss of your loved ones.

As a resident of Rhinelander, I dont know anyone who doesnt have some connection or memory of a time or person in Crandon...so this tradgedy has affected so many here as well. As a mother I cannot comprehend the grief of the families...my prayers go out to all of you. Our children in Nativity had a special prayer in Mass...Our Churches and residents continue to pray for the families and the victims. Crandon is our sister city and we are here for you in love and sypathy.

I Am From Crandon...... I Have Alot Of Family In Crandon..... When I Heard About What Happen I Was Really Upset & Afraid It Was Someone In My Family...... But My Brother KNows Some Of The Victims & My Grandfather Knows One..... & I Know One Of The Victims Aunts...... Becuase She Is My Aunt...... But Only By Marriage So I Am Not Related To Him....... But I Wanted To Say I Am Very Sorry About All This That Happened....... And That We All Love And Miss You.......

my sympathy goes out to the families of the victims. i knew jordanne the most out of the victims. i used to work with her mom up at the hiles pine lake and pub and rode the bus with her when we went to school. this is a terrible thing that happen and i will never forget those that died on that day.

I currently live in Crandon and have 3 daughters, I know when I heard what had happened all I could think of and can still think of are the victim's families and how they will get through this terrible tragedy. I cannot say much that would comfort those who are close to these young adults and teenagers that were taken from us. They are in god's hands now, and from here on, he will protect and comfort them.

I'd just like to share my sympathies with the families of the victims, I used to work for the Potawatomi just outside of Crandon, and I just can't get over how a horrible tragedy such as this has happened to such a wonderful little town. Take care, and may you all come together to comfort each other in this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy goes out to all the families of the victims. But my heart grieves the most for Jordanne. Her mother was one of my best friends in high school and I knew this special little girl from the time she was born. May God bring you comfort and peace in your hours of heartache and pain. I Love You Always!!!

My heart aches for the families of the victims. I have known 2 of the girls their entire lives. I am still in shock and disbelief that they are no longer with us. My prayers are with all of those that are greiving this horrible loss. I will always remember Katrina and Lianna and hold them dear to my heart keeping their memories alive.

Iwish I had a cookie

It seems like only yesterday that I was teaching these boys in 6th grade. Such a terrible tragedy, such wonderful kids. Being far away makes it hard to grieve, I wish I could be back in the community with family and friends. I pray that families pull together and use their combined strength to get through this time. I'll never forget when Bradley Schultz told me he was going to college and wanted to go into the FBI...I answered, "Good for you, and good luck--you'll do great!" And he would have.

The victims, their families and friends will be forever remembered and loved. I grew up with the victims and their families leaving me with several memories, and I will continue to pray for strength and comfort at this trying time.

My continued thoughts and prayers go out for the victims, families, and community during this profoundly difficult time.

Living in Crandon will never be the same....its changed forever! I knew everyone one of those people we lost, some better than others. As everyday goes by I think of how it gets harder and harder to remember the way they talked and the way they stood out in a crowd! I'll always remember their faces though! All seven of them had unique personalities and they will be truly missed. It will br weird not seeing Lianna, Katrina, and Lindsey in school. I loved going to "Eats N Treats" and visiting with Jordanne. She always had on a smile and gave you advice whether you wanted it or not! That's what I loved about her! Aaron was my neighbor and I grew up playing hide-n-seek with him and Alyssa. I wasn't the closest friends with Charlie, but I'm glad he's doing well. Tyler was loved and still is by many peolple and I am greiving for his loss with all of his family! Last, but certainly not last in my heart, my cousin Bradley. He always made anyone laugh no matter you they where. He thought he was hott stuff and the biggest player in Crandon. I loved him and will miss him so much! Everyone who died was a victim and they are all loved and missed! They will be in our hearts and prayers forever.....Love You Guys!

Every single person in this area has been touched by this. I knew everyone who died that day. It won't be the same at school not seeing Katrina, Lianna , and Lindsey in the halls. Everyone had such potential to be great. Unfortunately, that chance was taken away from them. I will miss all of them greatly. My thoughts and prayers go to all of the family members affected by this tragedy. I know they are all looking down on us now from a better place. Rest in peace : Jordanne, Bradley, Aaron, Katrina, Lianna, Lindsey and Tyler. I will be thinking of you everyday.

I remember: I live in Crandon and I remember them girls. I saw them at our food store and at subway. They always had a smile! I didn't know any of them personally but its a small town. I thought that my family wouldn't be affected by this but we are and the more I hear about it my heart aches for those loved ones that they left behind. I know that we will all get through this and this web site is a start! THANK U!

I dont know any of the victims except through Jordanne, I am a long time friend of her moms. I knew Jordanne when she was little, a little girl who always walked on her tip toes, always smiling. I remember her another time, at her mothers wedding, when she was a little flower girl, and I have a picture of her, very bored sitting on the steps waiting for the pictures to finally be over....Those are the only memories I have of this wonderful, beautiful young lady who grew up fast, and was brought up right. I have read everything everyone has had to say about her. She was very well liked, an amazing person, friend and daughter. I know her mother, grandmother and uncles and aunts were all very proud of her and thought the world of her. She was loved. She will always be loved. Jordanne will live on in the memories she has made with all the people she loved and that have had the privledge to have known her. Her friends that she lost that day no doubt are very much like her, she seemed to surround herself with alot of dear friends. Those dear friends went with her when she left. She is not alone. God Bless all the families and friends affected by this terrible tragedy that has left so many broken hearts.

I feel sad for the families

I is Sad

Uh.

I cant believe that it happened here and I pray for those who have lost someone. Please be strong.

My Heart goes out to all of Crandon who has to deal with such a tragic loss...you will be in my prayers...God Bless!

I was a graduate with Tyler, Bradley, Aaron, and Charlie! We were a tight-knit class! Everyone knew everyone, and we all got a long at school! I don't know what triggered all this to happen, but I want to let all the families of Tyler, Bradley, Aaron, Charlie, Lindsey, Leanna, Katrina, and Jordanne to know that I will continuously be thinking about your family and the loved one that you have lost! And that I hope all is well with Charlie! Get better soon!! You are all in my thoughts and prayers!

Would like to say that Im sorry for all of this. There are no words to describe what I am still feeling these few days later but I just want to say everyone is in my prayers. These were great kids! God bless!

Im from nearby Niagara and my job brings me to Crandon alot. Its hard to imagine this happening in our little part of the world and I send my deepest sympathy to each and every one.

Everytime I seen any of these kids their smiles would light up the world! I think of them all as angels, they came to Crandon to bless us all with their wonderful presences for a while. That while was to show us how to smile, laugh, care, and just what love is all about. They will remain in not only Crandons, but in all of the worlds' hearts forever! God can only give stregnth and peace, so everyone pray!

"It can't happen here!" Thats all I thought when it happened. Now, I guess everyone finally realizes it did and how awful it is. No one deserved this pain. No parent should bury their child--No matter the way they died-- No parent should endure that pain. Its against the laws of nature. My prayers and sympathies go out to all the families of the victims and their friends and everyone in Crandon who has to deal with all the problems this will cause.

i was in such shock when i heard about this and who had done it. Unfortunatly i knew all the people involved except Lindsey. I was really close to a few of them. My heart and sympathies go out to the families and friends...

my deepest sympathies go to all the families and friends of the victims....i really didnt know any of them but i feel heartbroken...now they are all around us every moment of everyday....

We may have moved to Wyoming, but Crandon is still our hometown. Aaron and Jordanne rode the same bus as me, and Bradley had been a friend for a long time. We all went to school together, and my heart aches for everyone back home. I wish I could be there! They will be missed dearly by all their friends and families.

My deepest sympathy.

Living in Wisconsin all of my life, I am praying for you all as you heal from this horrible tragedy. I hope you all stand strong together during this grieving time and please know how your town is forever in our thoughts. With deepest sympathy.
