I am truly so saddened by your loss. I hope this helps, it's not much but please know our heart goes out to you and we are praying for love and peace for you and your family <3 God Bless.................

I was born and raised in Jacksonville, graduated sandalwood '88. Totally shocked about this. I live in nc now and am surprised it hasn't passed the $25000 mark yet. There are good and bad people everywhere and this has nothing to do with the city but our response now will. I am like everyone else that its hard to give away $100 let alone $10 these days, but I would hope if something happened to me that my wife and three children would have some kind of support like this.

From one Bears fan to another. RIP Chris.

Deepest sympathies from our family to yours. May GOD's peace be with you.

My prayers go out for this family and hope that God gives them strength in this time of sorrow and pain. I hope that more people will reach out to you in this terrible moment of your life. God bless.

Thinking of you and your family

I am very sorry for your loss. I wish I could donate more. I am praying for Chris and I know that he is now with Paul who is comforting him. God bless you all

God bless the Pettry family during this tragic time. The Bears family extends far beyond the team - it's also the passionate and caring fans.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy and regret for your loss. This is a horrendous tragedy that never should have happened. My Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Praying!

May God bless you and your family always and in all ways as He holds you ever safe and secure in the hollow of His loving hands as He gives you the strength that can only come from Him.

Karen, there truly are no words...As a wife and mom of 3 girls, I can only imagine the pain this senseless act of violence has caused you and your children. I am so, so very sorry that your life has been forever changed by actions that cannot be understood. Please know that the citizens of Jacksonville are thinking of you and your family,

Our prayers are with you & please remember no matter what religion you are you can be ASSURED of going to heaven if you'll just stop and pray the following to God and mean it. -Christ died for all of my sins past, present and future and paid for them with His blood (John 3:16) -good works won't get me there (Ephesians 2:8-9) -now that I'm saved I can never lose my salvation (John 10:28-29)

May the lord give you streght on this time of need.

My husband takes a baseball trip every year with his best friend to a different stadium every year. I am also a stay at home mom with two kids. Your story really hit home and I am so sorry for your loss, saddened that it happened in my home town, but mostly me heart just goes out to you and your children. May god bring you peace in the days to come.....

I was a stay at home mom when our now grown children were young and I cannot begin to imagine what you and your family is going through right now. I will continue to pray for your family.

Although I live in Jacksonville, I was born and raised in Chicago Heights, Ill, so this Deplorable act hits close to my heart. I only wish I could give more.

Mrs. Pettry, I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my husband 3 years ago at the age of 46, I know that God must have needed a good angel up in heaven, because that is the only thing that helped get me through. Know that it is ok to have tears for no reason, and it is ok to let others see your pain. Look for all the good times, think of the fun you had and know that you were lucky to have had such a good man for a time. Pray for strength and patience and know that God will guide you out of the dark with grace.Toni Stenmark

We pray that you know how saddened we are and that we do care. Have faith in God and know that he is so with you right now. He will carry you through the most difficult times. A pastor once told me "God never wastes a hurt".

Please know you are in our thoughts.

My wife and I are both jaguars season ticket holders and we were not in town for the game. We heard of this Terrible act on the news and just couldn't believe it. I went to school at Olivet Nazarene University where the bears hold their training camp. I am going to send a message to my friends who run that university to see if there is anything that can be done for your family from them as well. I know that no amount of money can ever replace the husband and father that was lost but hopefully this donation and the hopefully many more to come can help ease the pain of picking up the pieces left behind. Your family is in our prayers. God bless you and hold you close to him.

Karen, I am so sorry for your tragic loss.

Praying for you and the kids, Karen!

Karen, my condolences on the unspeakable loss of your husband. My mother was murdered when I was 10, leaving behind my Dad raising the three of us. There are tough times ahead but times do get better day by day. Embrace your family and friends and know that while tragedies can never be explained, you must continue living the life that your husband would want you to live. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

From my Mastiff family to yours. Hugs and prayers!

Words cannot express how deeply sorry I am on behalf of my City of Jacksonville. It is appalling and makes me fearful of my own City. Know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. If there is anything this City or I can do, do not hesitate to reach out. Words cannot express my appall and heartbreak over this as someone who loves sports and traveling to new places. John

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

We are a family in Jacksonville that like so many others are praying for you and your family.
