The technology giant's chief executive said "our hearts go out to the friends and family" of Mr Godwin, who was shot dead by Steve Stephens in the USA city of Cleveland in Sunday in an apparent random killing.
A McDonald's employee spotted Stephens at the drive-thru and called police.
"The hashtags Joy Lane, Joy Lane massacre-I don't even know who Joy Lane is anymore or how to pick up all the pieces of my world at this moment", she told a CNN affiliate.
Lane said it has been hard watching her name dominate social media, where her connection to the killer became a topic of discussion over the weekend.
Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg has admitted the social network needs to improve the way it responds to violent videos after a man posted footage showing him committing a murder.
Facebook said Stephens' account was suspended within 23 minutes of the murder video being reported, but admitted it needs to "do better".

Enrique's side were in a similar situation, except worse, to tonight after they were beaten 4-0 by PSG in France. Optimism is obligatory, of course, and Barcelona are acutely aware of the difficulties they face.
"I feel bad", Lane told the sisters, according to WJW. While the vehicle was spinning out of control Stephens pulled a pistol and shot himself in the head, Pennsylvania State Police said.
A multi-state manhunt ensued, and there was no sign of Stephens until Tuesday at a little after 11 a.m. Thomas DuCharme Jr., the owner of the Erie McDonald's, said a worker there recognized Stephens as he came through the drive-thru and alerted her supervisor. "This is a very hard time for me and my family Please respect our privacy at this time", she said in a statement.
In an interview with CNN, several of Godwin's children said they held no animosity toward Stephens, either. "We will keep doing all we can to prevent tragedies like this from happening".
Godwin was the father of ten children and a grandfather to 14.
Police arrived at the scene and chased Stephens to an abandoned school, where a trooper knocked him off the road by hitting his bumper with a "precise immobilization technique" (PIT). He fatally shot himself in the head after a brief pursuit.
Godwin will be laid to rest Saturday, almost a week after he his last meal with his children.
