"The horrible losses suffered by the students, faculty, and families at Virginia Tech are being mourned throughout our country," Senator Kerry said. "Teresa and I extend our most heartfelt and deepest sympathy to all of the families who have lost a loved one, especially the Alameddine family from Saugus.
