I'm so sorry. Heartbreaking.
My heart goes out especially to Tedd and Katherine, wonderful people I cherish, and to Nathan, who haven't had the chance to know.

My condolences to your family. Anne was truly a determine and compassionate individual. She used the tragedy in her own life to reach out and help others especially the disabled. May Anne rest peacefully in the memories of our Heavenly Father. May God be with your family during this time of sorrow.

A survivor of the Columbine shooting but more than that, she was a dedicated and determined advocate against gun violence. She stood up for herself and others to avoid them from suffering a similar tragedy. Sincerest condolences to the Hochhalter family, so very sorry for your loss. May God be with you all in your time of loss.
