To smell his cologne, to hear his laughter, to see him eating across the table on Christmas day... The list is endless. Nicholas Sheley, becouse of you, my family can never have these things again. Not only have you done this to my family but many other families as well. I knew we would go to heaven eventually, but I never pictured any of us going so brutally. I have finally accepted the fact that my uncle is gone. I also know I will see him again when I join the kingdom of god someday. Then we will rejoice. As for you Mr. Sheley, when your time comes the gates will be closed for you. Your agonizing pain will just begin in eternity. For GOD is your true JUDGE. I hope all the victims families stick together with no weak links. We all know that YOU ARE YOUR WEAK LINK Mr. Sheley. For now, I'll say goodbye to my Uncle Ronnie. But I do know I will see you again someday...I LOVE & MISS YOU...

To the young, beautiful souls that were taken in this tragedy and the young boy who life was taken by the hands of a horrible, horrible person... May the Lord accept you in his loving arms and forever protect you from the evils that you should have never known. To the friends and families who have lost their loved ones...may you somehow find peace in all this chaos. From our family to yours, our prayers and thoughts are with you in your time of need. I cannot try to understand the pain one must feel from losing a son or daughter; brother or sister or a child for that matter, at the hands of a sick killer. We can all only hope that justice will soon be served and we can all rest peacefully knowing that this horrible man will never take another life again.

Kylinn I will always rember you as my twin sister and you both will not be forgotten in my hart. we all love and miss you. My god keep you in his grace and please watch over us.

Im a resident of the area....this took my family by complete shock as well as the community. I am so sorry for everyone's loss here..I cannot imagine what the families and friends must be going thru. I didn't know anyone of the victims however there is not a day that goes by that my heart does not break and I do not think about the families and the victims. Its such a terrible shock to this community. I know that this is something I will not forget for along time if at all. My heart goes out to the families and friends. Once again I am so sorry may they all rest in peace.

Proverbs 24:19-21 Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the wicked; for there will be no prospect for the evil man; the lamp of the wicked will be put out. My son, fear the Lord and the king; Do not associate with those given to change.

For the families of victims who have had life ended at the hand of a man who has allowed pure evil to overcome him, know that justice will be served in the end. It's an awful thing to think that these tragidies could have been prevented if only the judicial system worked the way it's suppose to. Many prayers of comfort, strength and peace for your souls. Know that you are being prayed for.

I am so sorry. I wish I could be there with you during this time. My thoughts and prayers will be with you always. I love you all.

Thank God he has been caught! My prayers are for the families of those who lost loved ones and for the Sheley children who will be haunted by their fathers actions for years to come.

How horrible. I'm glad they caught him and I hope he gets what he deserves. Our hearts go out to the loved ones of the deceased. May they rest in peace.
