...abruptly [April 30]. Bitter memories will haunt their families for a long time. The healing process will take many years. Prayers are the greatest tools to help them go on and pick up the pieces. I sympathize not only with the victims' parents but also with the parents of Cho Seung-Hui. They didn't want the shootings to happen either. Their pain is the worst kind that parents can experience. There is no end to their misery. They too need our prayers. Myrna D. Villarruz, Lipa City, The Philippines...
...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. Christopher Yodice, Levittown, New York...

Brandon Robbins, Goldsboro, North Carolina...
...Causes of Psychosis Re Jeffrey Lluger's "Why They Kill" [April 30]: Thank you for the insight into Cho's mental state. Of course, no one can be sure what exactly was going on in his brain, but it helps to read substantial psychological facts that might give some answers to a devastated nation. People are desperately trying to find the reason something as horrific as this could happen, and the article provided some understanding of a mentally unstable human being. Laura Bowman, los angeles...
...Cho's mental illness is just one of the many issues in the terrible tragedy in Virginia. But most types of mental illness do not have a component of psychosis. In fact, many people with psychosis are rehabilitated with medication, counseling and monitoring and never turn violent. Let's use the term mental illness judiciously so that its stigma does not prevent people from seeking help and early intervention. If we don't, paradoxically, that could cause more patients to slip through the cracks. Anuradha Gupta, Stamford, Connecticut...
