A Nation in Mourning

I applaud TIME for featuring victims of the Virginia Tech tragedy on the cover [April 30]. You reminded us that the lives taken were real. Some of the photos hinted at extracurricular interests; others were obviously school, military or formal photographs. All were pictures of promise. The images of Cho Seung-Hui were disturbing and indicative of the evil in the world. But the faces staring at me from your cover, while heartbreaking, were reminders of the love and promise that abound. Thank you for showing them to us.
