 Alison Parker was in love. 
  
 Parker, the television news reporter slain this morning along 
 with her cameraman, was dating another reporter at WDBJ-TV in 
 Roanoke, Virginia, Chris Hurst. 
  
 Bridgewater Plaza in Virginia, were remembered this morning by 
 their co-workers at WDBJ, a CBS affiliate serving the Roanoke- 
 Lynchburg television market. 
  
 "They did great work every day and put their all into what they 
 did," WDBJ anchor Kimberly McBroom said on air in the wake of 
 the shooting. 
  
 Ward graduated from Virginia Tech and kept up with his alma 
 mater's football team, the station said. His Twitter page is a 
 mixture of sports and humorous tweets. 
  
 Virginia Tech released a statement today extending its €deepest 
 sympathies€ to the two families. The statement also featured a 
 remembrance from one of Ward€s professors, Robert Denton of the 
 Communication Department. 
  
 €Adam was a delightful person. He worked hard € you could tell 
 he loved what he was doing,€ he said. €He wasn€t afraid to pitch 
 in and do whatever was necessary for the broadcast. He did 
 whatever was needed with a smile and with grace. He was simply a 
 very nice young man and very professional.€ 
  
 Ward was engaged to WDBJ morning producer Melissa Ott, who was 
 celebrating her last day at work today before starting a new job 
 in Charlotte, North Carolina. 
  
 Ward had plans to move with his fiancee and get out of news, 
 according to one of his co-workers, news anchor Jean Jadhon. 
  
 Parker started as an intern at the Virginia station, got a full- 
 time job at a station in North Carolina, and returned to WDBJ to 
 be a reporter. She grew up in Martinsville, Virginia, and 
 attended Patrick Henry Community College and James Madison 
 University in Harrisonburg. 
  
 She enjoyed whitewater kayaking, playing with her parents€ dog, 
 Jack, and attending community theater events, according to her 
 biography on her station€s website. 
  
 Her father, Andy Parker, released a statement Wednesday morning 
 on the behalf of his family, writing that they are "devastated." 
  
 "Barbara, Drew, and I are numb, devastated and I find my grief 
 unbearable. Alison was our bright, shining light and it was 
 cruelly extinguished by yet another crazy person with a gun. She 
 excelled at everything she did and was loved by everyone she 
 touched. She loved us dearly, and we talked to her every single 
 day. Not hearing her voice again crushes my soul," Andy Parker 
 wrote. "Our family can only take solace in the fact that 
 although her life was brief, she was so happy with it. She lived 
 it to the fullest and her spirit will always be with us." 
  
 "She's a rock star. She's professional, so much fun and so 
 kind,€ McBroom said of Parker. "I lost my dad back in January 
 and she was one of the first people to come with condolences, 
 came to my home and brought food and comfort. That's just who 
 she was -- a good friend." 
  
 Jay Webb, the news director at another local Virginia television 
 station, WHSV, worked at WDBJ for seven years and was close to 
 Ward. 
  
 "Both extremely good people, will be missed,€ Webb said in an 
 interview with ABC News. €I think it€s been said this morning, 
 just two journalists that were just trying to do a good job.€ 
  
 It was a sentiment that McBroom echoed from the anchor desk: 
 "They're family and we've lost two members of our family."
