I just want to hug these families, cry with them. I pray and mourn with them. I am just so sad. I feel helpless. I hold them up in love and also rage. There are kids who will never come home and I cannot handle that. Beautiful, sweet babies who are learning cursive and playing soccer and so sad. I don’t know how to wrap this up because there is no wrapping it up. Love to each and everyone one of you. May you know what it mean to be loved and be safe. I love you.” His wife, Maren Morris, posted the message. She added a broken heart emoji.
