Honor Newtown date with 'acts of kindness'

Some of the Sandy Hook families suggest that, to mark the anniversary of the shooting, Americans volunteer at charitable organizations this week.

Some of the Sandy Hook families suggest that, to mark the anniversary of the shooting, Americans volunteer at charitable organizations this week.

Families of the 26 people fatally shot at Sandy Hook Elementary School have created a website, MySandyHookFamily.org, honoring each child and educator who died last year on Dec. 14.

Krista Rekos and JoAnn Bacon, who each lost a daughter in the tragedy, spoke Monday ahead of the one-year mark on behalf of the families. They suggested that Americans mark the date of the tragedy with acts of kindness such as volunteering at community charitable organizations.

“We hope that some small measure will be able to be returned to the world,” Bacon, whose daughter Charlotte was killed in the massacre, said at a press conference in Newtown.

Many of the victims’ parents, children, and siblings said they will light a candle this Friday on the eve of Dec. 14 to remember their loved ones.
