Statement of Love and Support — Tumbler Ridge Tragedy

We hold the community of Tumbler Ridge in our hearts following the tragic shooting on February 10. In moments like these, words feel small, yet our collective care is vast. We extend our deepest prayers and heartfelt love to the victims, their families, first responders, and all whose lives have been shaken by this violence.

May we surround this grieving community with compassion, tenderness, and unwavering support. And may we each recommit ourselves to being instruments of peace — choosing kindness, understanding, and love in the face of sorrow.

Together, we stand in solidarity, holding space for healing, courage, and hope.

With deep love

Rev. John DePalma
