Newtown Connecticut Obituary

Our hearts are aching for all the children, the principal and the staff who died heroically, December 14, 2012. We are praying for: the grieving parents, grandparents, siblings, extended family members, classmates, colleagues, police, firemen, first responders, the Lanza family, the community of Newtown, Connecticut, and all the medical, clergy and funeral personnel. May God give all Americans the strength to manage the ripples in society which this event will set forth, as well as the courage needed to face life, as the time passes by, in Newtown, Connecticut, our great United States, and in the world. God Bless America! With love, Rosemarie and Louis Aloia, Andrea Gilkes, our entire family and the staff of the Aloia Funeral Home, Garfield, NJ.

Jeremiah 29:11

January 22, 2018

I was speechless and so deeply sad about the death of these wonderful. May god held their and give them peace in heaven.

I'm from Germany and have been visiting my parents in law last November. Together with my wife and my 15 and 7 year old daughters we were guests in Newtown, CT. It was my first stay in the USA. What a wonderful small town - but the most which has really impressed me, was the kindness of the citizens of Newtown and the happyness of the children on Halloween. I had never get the feeling to be just a visitor. Thank you for that, dear Newtown community.

One night I saw the little shining crosses at the cemetary and asked for the meaning. My heart was filled with sadness as I heard, that here are some of the little victims are bedded for the last rest.

I wish all the bereaved, much love and power.

Ulrich Boerner

Today is a hard day not just for you, but for many Americans. I remember your loss often, not just today, but several times throughout the year. As a mother I watched in horror your pain and loss and hugged you from afar. Hugs are not enough though, I have also called my senators to demand sensible gun control and donated to organizations fighting for this. I will never forget you and your children and I will continue to raise mine to make this country safer. I send nothing but love to you today and always. Blessed be.

I hope someday the world will wake up & do whats needed to stop the violence!
