We know many have taken up the project of memorializing this event in images and music, but we wanted to make a personalized version to show the hope that we have as [nlcf] in the great cloud of witnesses who are praying for us specifically.

Musical tributes
The Passion Worship movement has donated five songs for free download through May at hopeforthehokies.com. Two of them, On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand and You Never Let Go, were sung at [nlcf] on Sunday Apr 22.
Recent [nlcf] alumni Kurtis Parks and Josh Kim have written and recorded a song called “Forever Changed”.
Tanner Blankenship, a musician involved with vtONE, has also written a song to commemorate the fallen called “My Favorite Dream”.
Broken Fall
Broken Fall is a group of friends who met at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA. The band formed in the fall of 2005 and began recording their first album “Wreckage and Reconciliation” by that same winter which was then released in June of 2006. The band has been playing around the area, on campus at Virginia Tech as well as Radford University.
Their hope is to spread the message of God’s love to the student community especially in places where that story is often ignored or miscommunicated. They hope to show through their songs that God is involved in everyday life including relationships, difficulties, questioning, and even the death of loved ones.
God never leaves us and is waiting with outstretched arms in order to embrace us. It’s up to us to accept that and then reach back and take hold of his hands. Through Jesus we find love, grace, mercy, strength, freedom, and forgiveness. The music of Broken Fall communicates this truth in a way that is relevant and honest.
