Bacon, Charlotte H.
Charlotte Helen Bacon is the beloved daughter of Joel and JoAnn Bacon and sister of Guy Bacon. She died tragically on December 14, 2012 with her friends and classmates at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Charlotte was an extraordinarily gifted six year old who filled her family each day with joy and love. The family will forever remember her beautiful smile, her energy for life, and the unique way she expressed her individuality, usually with the color pink. Charlotte never met an animal she didn't love and since the age of two wanted to be a veterinarian. She also enjoyed practicing Tae Kwon Do weekly with her dad and brother where she relished kicking and throwing punches!
Charlotte has left a place in her entire extended family's hearts that will never be replaced. The family is profoundly grateful for the thoughts and prayers of the many friends around the world who have expressed their sympathies. They trust in the depths of God's grace and with confidence know that Charlotte rests in God's arms.
The family asks that the media please respect their privacy at this time.
Joel, JoAnn, and Guy Bacon.
Friends may visit with Charlotte's family on Tuesday, December 18th from 4 p.m. to 7p.m. at Christ the King Lutheran Church. Her Funeral Service will take place on Wednesday, December 19th at 1:00 p.m. also at the church, followed by her burial in Newtown Village Cemetery. The Honan Funeral Home, 58 Main Street, Newtown, is in care of arrangements. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Charlotte's memory may be sent to Christ the King Lutheran Church, 85 Mt. Pleasant Rd., Newtown, CT 06470.

Hi Charlotte,
I'm sure you're always missed to this day. You would have had a bright future as a veterinarian.
But I wonder if you became a ballet dancer, joined a youth soccer team, or made the USWNT? They were so successful last year, and I bet you smiled down on them after they won another women's WC.

Dear Charlotte,
Today, in my middle school, we had a moment of silence for the 17 victims of the recent Florida school shooting. A few students passed out the names of gun violence victims to honor and remember. I got your name and was curious about you. I now know that you were an amazing person and I feel honored to have learned about you. I hope that you rest in peace and I will pray for your family and friends who continue to miss you. (I have also found out that we were born around the same time!)

For the next two months I am posting the guest books of the children who died at Sandy Hook. I wanted you to know that as an ex teacher I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN what happened on that day nor will I ever forget. I hope you do not mind that I am sharing your guest book on my Facebook account. It is time for all to remember what happened that day. Charlotte will always remain one of my heroes.
