There are moments when words simply arenβt enough. π
Our hearts are broken for the precious lives lost, the families whose worlds have been shattered, and everyone forever changed by the tragedy here in Bend.
We honor those weβve lost, hold close those who are healing, and extend our deepest gratitude to the courageous community member who stepped forward to protect innocent lives.
His bravery deserves our recognition. His humanity deserves our compassion. Even when an action saves lives, the emotional weight of that moment may last a lifetime.
May we surround every family, every survivor, and everyone affected with kindness, love, and support β not just today, but in all the days ahead.
Bend, we hold you close. β€οΈ
