Hundreds came out to the Sikh temple in Brookfield Monday night for special services in honor of those who passed away during Sunday's shooting rampage in Oak Creek.
Joined by Gov. Scott Walker and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, the supporters in the packed temple prayed in unison for the seven people who passed away, including man behind the gun, 40-year-old Wade Michael Page.
Following the ceremony, the entire group gathered just outside the temple for a candlelight vigil and moment of silence honoring the victims of the shooting before going back inside for a langar community meal.

Wow, the Sikh's are very strong in their faith so much that they talk of forgiveness. That is truly amazing. I must admit, I don't think I could. My thoughts and prayers go out to all, especially those who lost someone dear to them. Stay strong!
