Since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, more than a half million cards, letters, and drawings have been sent to the people of Newtown, Connecticut, from around the world. These messages of love, sadness, and hope have been on display in the town hall and viewed there by many residents and visitors. We believe that they deserve a wider audience. We will be posting new cards and letters every day to this Tumblr blog.

Dear Family,
I really would like to be by your side to give you a hug. What happened is an immense tragedy. I know that your sons and daughters reached for the stars and had dreams just as high. I don’t have any answers for the “Whys?” that pop in your minds. Why my son or daughter? Why me? What did I do to deserve this? The only thing I know is that there’s a God in heaven that loves us and that above all is good. Those angels are in heaven skipping and playing, smiling, laughing, beautiful as ever. Surely they keep mischief-making without malice and giving the angels headaches :) My prayers are for you and your families. May God give you the peace that only he knows how to give.
May God bless you with love,
Vicki
