To those who were injured and traumatized, we express our greatest concern and hopes for a prompt and full recovery. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you at this difficult time.
This tragedy shocked us all and no words can express our sorrow.
Many of the people who were injured or whose lives were suddenly and senselessly taken were members of SEIU Local 721, part of our Nurse Alliance of California. We are very deeply saddened for the loss of such dedicated people who shared their skills and compassion to improve health and quality of life for their patients and community. Their service to the public was invaluable.
In support of SEIU Local 721 and all those directly affected by this event, we stand strong with the many others who have expressed their condolences in your time of healing, and are committed to forging ahead to affect greater safety in the workplace.
With our deepest sympathy,
Ingela Dahlgren, RN, Executive Director, Nurse Alliance of California
Our deepest condolences from SEIU Local 1021. May God bless and keep you all.
My deepest sympathy to all those who had losses!
I am so terribly sorry to hear of this tragedy. My prayers are with all the families. May God bless and keep you during this time. I pray that our country can take a stand to protect the innocent by making it difficult to purchase guns and ammunition.
I pray that you are able to find peace in knowing that your family member no longer has to suffer…. I pray you are able to celebrate their life and accomplishments to date….
I pray for the healing of those injured.
I continue to pray for our leaders and that they are able to make the right decisions.
Blessings in Christ Jesus.
My deepest condolence to the family of my coworkers.

My deepest sympathies go out to my fellow county workers, their friends and their families who are suffering from the senseless murder of these innocent, decent, human beings. This is an incomprehensible tragedy for our union brothers and sisters, San Bernadino and the nation. Know that I, and many others are sending love and prayers at this most difficult time.
Tragic and sad and very hurtful for all of us having heard of this tragedy. May the survivors find strength through their loved ones and their spiritual beliefs.
I am just one of the many many people who are grieving the loss of the slain and the injuries of the wounded and the horrendous trauma of what happened in San Bernadino. We all feel the loss and injuries ofvaluable people and health workers and just want you to know we care deeply.
I personally condemn the cowardice of those who attack innocent and defenseless people.
Sending love to the injured and the slain and their families.
My thoughts and prayers to all who were injured or lost on that horrible day. California and the USA are united against these acts. We stand together with you – SEIU 1021/Solano County.
Having worked at Inland Counties Regional Center 32 years ago this is a reminder that whenever this happens anywhere it is close to home, someone’s home, many homes. Please know that I and many, many others everywhere grieve with you in a deeply personal way. We are one
