God Bless you all. My heart goes out to the family and friends who lost love ones in this tragedy. Buffalo is not only the city of good neighbors, Western NY is the area of good neighbors. So many helped and wanted to help. I would also like to thank the news media for the [proffessionalism they showed. My prayers go out to all.

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims ,their families and my neighbors who have been affected. I am a Clarence resident and a frequent traveler. I have just returned to home after being gone for 11 days. Those who know me, realize I go between Buffalo and NYC on a weekly basis. I thank all those who were deeply concerned for me, my family and neighbors and ask that all continue to pray for these souls whose lives ended in such tragedy.It is awesome to see how the community has put up ribbons and have come together in this time of crisis. It confirms why I moved back to this area after being gone for so long and feel very proud to be part of this great community in WNY where the people are truly the best in the world!

My thoughts and prayers are with those who perished in the air crash and to their loved ones. My thoughts and prayers too to the good people of Clarence Center. Being from Akron, and living in Thailand and Laos, I was shocked to tears when I turned on CNN to see the horror of the accident in a town so close and close to me. Many friends live in Clarence Center and I know it well. My deepest sympathies to the families of the deceased and my prayers for the people of Clarence Center. Anthony M.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all that are in any way connected to this disaster. I grew up halfway between the airport and the crash scene. We watched thousands of planes come in for a landing. I was horified at the news. Once again we are reminded of how fragile life is. Take time to hug and kiss your family. You never know what is in the future.

I was very saddened to hear about this tragedy. I am a native of Rochester but now live in North Carolina. This really hit home to me since Western New York is still in my heart and is where my relatives live. I have said prayers for all affected by this. I was shocked to hear that two members of Chuck Mangione's band had died. I have fond memories of the band's music from growing up in Rochester.

The Flight of the Angels No one will forget that tragic February day. Nor can we find the words that we wish to say. The families are left wondering what happened to that plane. So many unanswered questions still remain. Fifty families joined as one When all this drama was done. May they all find comfort in each others love. Know that their loved ones are with God above. It so hard to see as the names and pictures hit the TV One thing that is left for everyone to see. Is the wreckage this left not just a house and plane torn apart. But the wreckage that is left in each one of their loved ones hearts. May the memories you have bring you comfort at this time. I am sure that many will agree the pictures still haunt my mind. The day that this crew and passengers gathered on the runway of FLight 3407 They had no clue their destination was heaven. So many had stories and touched the world in so many ways. America wont ever be the same since this tragic day. We don’t know their last minutes so many questions still remain unanswered in your mind. I pray that you get answers that you seek with some little time. Know that even though this was a path that they didn’t wish to trod. They ended up in the hands of God. For the day that the angels took off from that runway on Flight 3407. That they are with God and are up in heaven. So please know that America’s prayers are with you it don’t matter what state your from. For these angels bonded a world when it was done. May time help to comfort you and answer the questions that are left. Always remember the memories you will never forget. For hearing their stories broadcasted over the TV set. Gives us all memories that we wont soon forget. Although some of us didn’t know each one of them personally. They touched are lives in the a way that others wont see. So remember to not give up and continue to fight. And pray for the ones that were lost in this flight.

I just flew a week ago on one of these planes and we had to change planes cause the engine wasn't working on the plane we were to go on out of Philidalphia. this only brings to mind that how fragile flying is andhow much we need to make sure the planes are having regular maintence done on them. Also, that the use of auto pilot should be the pilots choice. My praYERS GO OUTTO Fmily friends of those who's lives were lost. mY Dughter and her family only live 5 miles from this area and it's frightening knowing of this incidence.

My prayers and thoughts are with all the families. I am especially touched by the loss of the Mrs. Eckert and Ms. Kausner It is indeed sorrowful that events like this happen. It makes one ask the question, why does God allow these sorts of things. There have been many responses. Perhaps the best response I heard is God calls those home that are ready, the rest of us are trying to get ready.

I know that there is nothing anyone can say right now to make this anymore okay or easier because it is still an "open wound" but do know that in time all wounds heal and so will all of you. In closing, let me say a quick prayer for all of you, 'Lord I want to lift up to you all of those affected by flight 3407. I pray that you work in their lives to somehow bring them peace and heal their broke hearts. Lord we do not always understand why things happen in our lives but we know that you have a plan and our best interests in mind so Lord help us all to trust you completely and in the midst of this tragedy help us to lean on you and allow you to guide us through these days. Lord I pray that you bless everyone reading this and that you provide help to those in need. In your name I pray. Amen.' God's peace be with you all. God bless!

Dear Family, This salutation is purposely written to emphasize our love for you, as one unified family in spirit, at this difficult time. Know that Americans and global citizens everywhere are a heart beat away with positive, loving thoughts. Also, know that your loved ones would want you to be grateful for having known you while they were here in body. They would also want you to continue to share the love you had for them to a new or present soul in your life that they may live on in joy, knowing you will find contentment soon. Their presence will always be with you in spirit. No one or no thing can take that a way -never! May peace and sincerity come to you sooner rather than later. Carol
