#SandyHook We remember and hold in our hearts all the bereaved parents, siblings, family members, classmates, school staff, first responders and all who were forever changed by this tragedy. #siblingloss
Isaiah Marquez-Greene, now 18 years old, survived the Sandy Hook shooting, but his younger sister, Ana Grace, was killed. In a note to his younger self, he reflects on his sister’s legacy: “Imagining who she would be if she were still here will keep her alive in your heart.”
