Dear families of the victims, residents of Newtown, and anyone else affected,

As hard as it may be, think of the good times you shared with those who were lost. Remember why you loved them, and why they loved you, and hold on to that. They may no longer be here physically, but no matter your faith, or lack thereof, realize that they will always be with you; they will be in your hearts and minds, in your thoughts, and in your dreams. They'll be there with you every step of the way, because their cheer and their passion have and will continue to make a permanent impact on your life, for the better. You are a happier person for having known them, lived with them, or raised them, and they most definitely would want to keep it that way.
