Fr John Salter writes:
News has reached us via the Right Reverend Joseph Francavilla of the Melkite Greek Catholic community in the United States that Reema Damaha of the Melkite church of the Holy Transfiguration of Our Lord, Virginia, was one of the thirty-two students gunned down and killed in the massacre at Virginia Tech in April.
Her father is a Deacon in the Church. Our prayers are asked for the repose of her soul and for her parents and family in their sad loss.
O Christ our True God, grant rest with Thy Saints to the soul of Thine Handmaid Reema, in that place where there is neither pain, nor grief, nor sighing, but Life everlasting. Amen.
