"Just got the CD today... All I felt was a shock and sadness for all of the families and this CD was a great idea because it allows those who may not have felt what happen feel a little of how the families are feeling. Thanks

LFC Website Continues to Bring People Together from Across the Country to Share Words of Healing and Hope

Although the Lullaby for Columbine Project created its website a year and a half ago, visitors continue to steadily visit it and post their messages of hope and healing.

"It is very encouraging to see the level of heartfelt message posting still occurring from around the country to our website", says LFC founder, Michael Tamburello. "It means so very much to the Columbine community to continually be reminded through such words of love and encouragement how many care about them and the work being done to help bring them healing. It renews my faith in people that anything is possible with enduring love."

While many of the messages that are continually posted are from high school and college students, we also receive words of encouragement from a full spectrum of caring individuals from every area of the country and beyond. Each of them wanted to share their personal thoughts on how much they liked the CD and how much Columbine meant to them and that their sons and daughters will never be forgotten.

Another powerful advantage of the LFC guestbook has been the great opportunity it also provides the victims and survivors of Columbine. Ann Kechter, mother of Matthew Kechter who died at Columbine, posted her thoughts of thanks and reflection:

"My son, Matthew, was one of the kids murdered in the library at CHS. Our family received the CD just days before Christmas. The timing for such a gift was perfect," she wrote. "The music has brought tremendous comfort and hope to our hearts. So many people have told us how frustrating it is to be unable to take some "hurt" away from the families and the Columbine Community. Knowing that so many have taken so much time and effort to produce this talented and unique CD brings comfort to my heart. We are not alone on this journey of recovery. Thanks to all the artists, producers and sponsors who brought this art/music to us."

Our online CD sales site with Amazon.Com has also received numerous customer reviews and reflections which offer similar words of encouragement both to the Columbine survivors and to LFC speaking to the music on the CD which they found both powerfully commemorative and healing.

"Projects like ours brings out the best in people if they let such events touch them," Tamburello continues. "We are truly blessed to have had so many incredible supporters on the back end of our project. To also have the wonderful support of the many who have left words of love and kindness to the hurting in our community has meant more than anything that could ever be put into words."

Project coordinator, Erin McNamara reflects on when she first met Sue Petrone, mother of Daniel Rohrbough, at the Gathering in Ontario, California. "Embracing a parent who suffered the unimaginable loss of a child and then being told how the support of so many who have helped with the healing process brought a heightened sense of how significant my mission with LFC has been and how important it is to keep it alive through simple words of kindness where they can have their greatest effect."

"We look forward in continuing this powerful forum where anyone in the world can share their thoughts of healing and reflections to the Columbine community," adds Tamburello. "If there was just one definitive statement that LFC, as a whole, could ever say to the many who have left such heartfelt messages on our sites, it would simply be: Thank you so very much for caring. It has meant more than you will ever know to so many".

Our guestbook is a powerful tool for your heart to touch another. If you haven't visited our guestbook yet, we encourage you do so, and if the spirit moves you, feel free to post your message of love and healing.
