Church services, a baccalaureate and even a funeral service all focused on the victims from Friday’s school shooting in Santa Fe. Sunday was a quiet day of reflection for the small community, without much movement in the case itself.
Friday's school shooting massacre not only changed the location of the baccalaureate service from the school to the church. It also changed the tone of the service.
As the seniors of Santa Fe High School were recognized, the message that followed was something many of them couldn't wait to hear.
"I think we needed this to all come together for the process of healing for all of us, like what happened Friday was a big deal, a big impact on our community," said graduating student Taylor Burns.
"When events like Friday happen we don't give up we know what that is because there is evil in this world in the name of sin," said Galveston County District Attorney Jack Roady during his message.
Seniors like Burns can't help but wish the end of their school year wasn't defined by the shooting that killed eight of her classmates and two teachers.
"Everything that's happened this year and this ended it like those people don't get to come to our graduation they don't get to celebrate this with us," she said.
“This past Friday has been one heck of a day but like I said the one thing that's always there there's always that one person that's gonna be here for you," said Aaron Chenoweth.
The community is reaching out as well. A memorial at the base of the high school Marquee continues to grow, mostly from people in nearby communities coming to show support.
Community members also helped plan the funeral for Sabika Sheikh. She was a foreign exchange student from Pakistan whose parents could not attend the service
The focus for these students now is moving on, however difficult that may be.
"I don't think anyone can ever fully move on from something this I think that it'll always being everyone's heart I think everyone will always remember this day and it's sad that it had to happen that way but I think the best thing people can do is stay together as a community," said student Harley Canales.
No one mentioned the shooter during any of the services.
