I just found out today that Daniel Perez Cueva was on of the victims killed at VT. I used to work with Daniel and his mother Betty at the Fairfield Inn in Woodbridge, VA.
He was a very kind young man, that worked very hard and loved his mother and family very much. My condolences goes out to Betty and all the families that suffered lost in this tragedy.
This also includes the family of the young man that was the shooter. There is no way anyone can understand how something like this can happen. We can only pray for the survivors.
Ya i was reading the statement issued by the shooters parents. I feel sorry for them but there is no way. I am not that kind enough to forgive the shooter. I go to college and the next time somebody drops a weight in the class, I just pray its not a bullet. He changed so many lives.. for the worse.
At the same time, I can only pray with my fellow students at VT. GO hokies.. we are with u
