“This tragic incident is even more painful  as most of the victims involved  were from close- knit families. My heart goes out to all those directly affected by this unfortunate incident 

“We stand ready to support the church at this hour of grief and bereavement.

“May the souls of the departed rest in peace. Amen”.
