She encouraged us to connect with those affected through platforms like Children's Mercy and reminded us that even the small act of sending a message of hope can ripple through communities in need of comfort. .
In prayer and solidarity, we stand with Kansas City and unite in hope and prayer for a future where our celebrations are never again marred by a tragedy like this.
