“The common question asked when someone loses a dear one prematurely is “Why”?” says Richard V. Battle, a lifelong Texas resident and award-winning author who lost his only son in 1998.

“Like the community in Uvalde, I was faced with a reality that I had never contemplated,” he reveals. “After a long search, I found comfort that my son was in heaven, and my faith assured me that God was in control. I realized that I did not grieve where my son was but where he wasn’t. I was then able to process my grief and resume living.”

As reality sets in, the town will never be the same, and the grieving families and community will help each other through the healing process.
