Maureen Reynolds UCD Staff Words fail at such a difficult time.  The enormity of this tragedy has struck at the core of Irish society as so many parents encourage their children to travel and experience life and the benefits of other cultures. For the majority this is such a positive experience and this makes it particularly sad when something of this magnitude occurs. I can't begin to imagine what the families of the bereaved are going through, my heartfelt sympathies to them. Thoughts and prayers also with those injured and their friends, here's hoping the resilience of youth helps them through the coming days and weeks.

Anne Jones Outside UCD These beautiful young students, their beautiful smiling faces,taken from this earth all too soon.My heart truly aches for their parents and families and I can, but only, imagine their pain. My son celebrated his 21st on June 5th this year and he too is a student at UCD. Stephen had planned to go to California on a J1 this year but Sport Commitments have kept him here in Ireland! Aoife Beary is in his year. He has played Gaelic Football at Club level with Eoghan Culligan and Jack Halpin on opposing teams, Ballyboden St Enda's and St Jude's respectively. This is how small our Island of Ireland is...somewhere, somehow, we know and have met these beautiful children. I feel this could so easily have been my son, I am fortunate that it is not. Words can never ever express the true sorrow I feel for their parents and families. May their God protect  and give them the strength they need to get through and May these beautiful children find eternal peace.

Thanks to Our Irish Consulate and all their staff helping all the Irish families and to America for their compassion and prompt assistance to All the Irish people involved. "Go Raith Mile Maith Agat." Just a little poem I found during my research studies at UCD some years ago.

                   OUR CHILDREN

Our children are like flowers to us.

 Each one different.
 Each one beautiful.
 Each one growing strong with us.

 Our children are like stars to us.

 Each one sparkles.
 Each one moves through the universe.
 Each one closer to the heart of us
.
 Our children are like life to us.

 Each one precious.
 Each one unpredictable.
 Each one having to let go of us.

Poem by Nancy Wood

PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad.

GANDALF: No. No, it isn't.”

Go out and live them for those who can't, see the world, try everything and regret nothing. You have been blessed with a 2nd chance, it won't be easy, for some of you your injuries will be life changing but try not to let it hold you back Live your life for you and for those you lost. All of us in Ireland will support you through it. We are all here for you xx

To all of those who have been affected by the tragedy in Berkeley, especially the families and loved ones of the six young people, who have lost their lives:

I would like to express my sincerest condolences and please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

A poem (by John O'Donohue) has helped me greatly in the past, and it continues to help me, and I am just going to type (below) the title of the poem and the first three verses of the poem.  This poem can be found easily online, with the click of a mouse ...

***

“On the death of the Beloved”

By John O'Donohue

Though we need to weep your loss,
You dwell in that safe place in our hearts,
Where no storm or night or pain can reach you.

Your love was like the dawn
Brightening over our lives
Awakening beneath the dark
A further adventure of colour.

The sound of your voice
Found for us
A new music
That brightened everything …

God Bless you and keep you.  I too went to Loreto Convent Foxrock and did the Leaving Cert. in 1980.  I too expected to live a life filled with dreams, ambitions and hopes.  Just like your children did.  They are now with God, in a better place.  There is a reason why they have left the earth and you already.  Please do not grieve.  I know it must be difficult for you.  Please say the Our Father prayer and the Hail Mary as often as you can.  They have suffered no pain.  You need to know that.  They instantly went to heaven.  You need to believe that.

I know that because I had a Near Death Experience a few years ago, but I was not allowed to go into heaven, I was asked by God to come back and help many people, and so I agreed.  Please rest assured that your children are in a happy place, and that you will see them again when you all die.  We actually do not die, we live forever.  If you cannot understand that now, you will the day that you pass over.

With Blessings and wishing you every comfort at this difficult time.

Writing to you from Vienna, Austria.

Julia

I am currently living and studying in Berkeley and like the many other Irish students here I was very shook by the incident. As our Irish community is so small it is not surprising that I had met some of those that lost their lives and I know many of those still fighting for theirs. I cannot begin to express how much of an impact this awful accident had on all of us here in Berkeley. Those who died were well liked and had many friends. They are gone too soon and they will be terribly missed. Rest in peace Lórcan, Olivia, Ashley, Eimear, Eoghan and Nick. I know there is a special place in heaven for you all.

Sarah Coller Outside UCD I cannot express in an online form how this tragedy has made me feel. I would like to comfort the families of the J1 Students, but that is impossible. Just know, that if it helps to - for want of a better phrase - soften the blow, the young people of Ireland, the 20 year olds like me, in particular, will take this incident, and like the amazing generation your son or daughter is part of, and use it to guide us to a better world, to become better people, to cherish every precious drop of life like your son and daughter did. It is completely unspeakable, the grief that you feel. But the love that you still feel for them will never leave your heart either. May they rest, in peace and forever stay with you in your hearts and minds, as they will with the whole of our generation, this country, the US, the world, and anyone they let into their short and beautifully lived lives. Love, Sarah, Co. Kildare, 20 years old.

Always the first to volunteer, always the organiser, always a leader, always a friend.

I will remember Lorcán in exam halls and sweetshops, in charity quizzes, on library staircases, on dancefloors, on sports fields and on trains in Berlin.

I will remember the tall frame, the fair hair, and the slip-on shoes. His laugh, his smile, and the little bit of time he seemed to have for everyone. I will remember his generosity, his good nature and his big heart.

I will remember Lorcán wherever there is kindness.

No words can convey the depth of our sadness over the deaths of these wonderful students, Eimear, Olivia, Ashley, Lorcan, Niccolai, and Eoghan.   No words can adequately express our sympathy to their grieving parents and families.  
I recall the poignant words of Mickey Harte, the father of Michaela McAreavey, when he said, after her tragic murder on her honeymoon:   “This is our day to bear the cross.”   Pray God may give these parents the strength to bear their cross - a cross that all parents hope they never have to bear.
We pray for the full recovery of the seven injured students, Aoife, Hannah, Clodagh, Conor, Jack, Niall and Sean. Come home safe.

I have read and heard such heartfelt tributes over the last number of days, by all accounts these sons, daughters, brothers, sisters and friends were beautiful people. I know people who knew Lorcan Miller and all have said what a fine and gorgeous young man he was. As a parent I can't comprehend how you will cope but hopefully the love and support of the country will be of some consolation… we are strangers to you but we wish we could do something to ease your grief. May your beautiful children rest in peace.
