Today my post is dedicated to all the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
As I’m sure many of you reading this felt the same way I did last Friday – helpless. As I was watching the events unfold on the news in front of me I was wishing there was something I could do to help the families in Newtown, Connecticut. Being part of a wonderful blogging community, we felt that we would take today to honor all the victims and families affected by this terrible tragedy.
Today, I pray for those families and all the innocent children who lives were taken too soon. My heart goes out to the parents who are now struggling with such a big loss in their lives, especially at Christmas time. They will be in my thoughts over the holidays. I will also be making a donation to the Newtown Youth & Family Services who are offering counselling support to the affected families.
Never forget these angels as they were taken to soon:
Daniel Barden, Olivia Engel, Josephine Gay, Ana M. Marquez-Greene, Dylan Hockley, Madeleine F. Hsu, Catherine V. Hubbard, Chase Kowalski, Jesse Lewis, James Mattioli, Grace McDonnell, Emilie Parker, Jack Pinto, Noah Pozner, Caroline Previdi, Jessica Rekos, Avielle Richman, Benjamin Wheeler, Allison N. Wyatt, Mary Sherlach, Victoria Soto, Anne Marie Murphy, Lauren Rousseau, Dawn Hochsprung, and Rachel Davino
God Bless you and your families over the holidays!
