To whom it may concern,

We, the undersigned faith community leaders in Elmira, are shocked and horrified at the cowardly act of terror committed in Orlando against the LGBT Community and the American People as a whole, seemingly in the name of religion. We send our heartfelt condolences to the families of all who lost their lives in this monstrous event, and wish a complete and speedy recovery to all those injured.
