"Every one of the 26 has a page that has been created by their family and it shares a little bit about them and how their family would like them to be remembered and honored. And that’s really important to anyone who’s ever lost a loved one, especially someone so close, like a child in our case and some of the other families, a spouse, an adult daughter. We lost six educators as well as 20 beautiful children.
