Gunshots rang out on December
14, 2012, 11 days before Christmas, at Sandy Hook Elementary School; leaving 20
students and 6 staff members deceased.
The shooter was 20 year old Adam Lanza.
As we drove through Newtown, Connecticut on
Thursday, December 20th, we were greeted by
memorials of candles, flowers, teddy bears, and letters, as they lined the sidewalks of main street. Long lines of people, dressed in black, waiting to pay their respects to
the victims of the 12/14 tragedy. The town was very quiet and solemn as the night began to settle in.
RI Families Against Restraint and Seclusion
presented Mrs. Karen Pierce, the Board of Managers, with two baskets of
trinkets for the children, at the Edmond Town Hall . The Edmond Town Hall was surrounded by
candlelight, cards, and flowers in remembrance of the victims. Mrs. Pierce led us to the auditorium and
asked each of us to echo our name; she said that you become a part
of the building's history when you echo your name. Many programs, such as, movies are held for
the community at the town hall. As we echoed our names, we thought of all of the children and staff members of Sandy Hook Elementary School who echoed their names and are now a part of history. The key is to never forget such a tragedy and try each day to make life better for yourself and others.
