<p>[After</a> tornado, Alabama students finally get graduation day - CNN](<a href=“http://articles.cnn.com/2011-08-06/us/alabama.commencement_1_student-government-alabama-students-journalism-student?_s=PM:US]After”>http://articles.cnn.com/2011-08-06/us/alabama.commencement_1_student-government-alabama-students-journalism-student?_s=PM:US)</p>
<p>I don’t think there was a dry eye in Coleman Coliseum yesterday when each set of parents of the UA tornado victims was introduced. And the tears continued minutes later when their posthumous degrees were awarded.</p>
<p>I watched the entire graduation ceremony via the live broadcast. I cried for each and everyone of those students who died in the tornado. I prayed that the parents could just get through the ceremony. It was awe-inspiring seeing each families’ strength and resolve. May those families find peace with this tragedy.</p>
