IN MEMORY OF SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY

I have been working on a video as part of the "Snowflake Project" for Sandy Hook Elementary students and families. Over six million snowflakes from around the world were received by the Connecticut PTA to help students return to a "Winter Wonderland".

Because of the overwhelming response, the family and friends are now asking for photos of snowflakes to be used on a permanent website. Here is my contribution I wanted to share with everyone to honor each and every child and staff member lost in that tragedy on December 14th, 2012. The victims included a little boy with autism, who died in the arms of his "one-on-one" assistant.

music is by Brandi Carlile ("One Sweet Kiss")

This is great - so touching. And the song is just amazing. I know how much heart you put into this.

What a great way to remember the children of Sandy Hook Elementary!
