One thing that we've been doing here is really trying to keep focus on the lives that have been lost, we are not focusing on the killer 1 because he's gone and frankly 2, we don't want him to be remembered. Certainly not by name, we tried to be careful, respectful what the families here are going through, tried to not to ever intrude 3 their suffering. But after Sunday night's program, we got a call from the McDonnell family. Seven-year-old Grace McDonnell's family. I spoke 4 with Grace's parents Chris and Lynn at length, they told me about who Grace was. The light of their family, the little girl who loved school and her brother Jack 5, and talented young artists, who lived life to the fullest, made the most of everyday of her far too short life. As amazed of the strength that Grace's parents showed, they say it is Grace who is guiding them through these difficult days. Here is our conversation, tonight, we honor Grace, we will remember her.
"What do you want people to know about Grace?"
"Well, Grace had such a great spirit, she was a kind and a gentle soul. And she was just the light and the love of our family, she was just truly a special special little girl that we loved, she loved her brother so much and she loved her school Sandy Hook. In fact, this week I was telling somebody she had a stomachache one day, and I said to her, why don't you just stay with mom, and she said, no way, I have too much fun there, I don't want to miss anything. She would skip to get on the bus, it wasn't even enough. You know, every morning, it was the backpack was packed the night before, and ready to get on the bus in the morning and head off to school. We would blow kisses every morning to each other. I remember that morning, putting her on the bus, she had a habit of blowing kisses, but then she gave me a big little liver lip like, woo... But that she, I knew she was so happy to go off and get there, so, I'd like to say is that she was at a place that she loved, so we take comfort in that, that we know she was in a place that she really loved."
"And with friends?"
"And with friends. People that loved her. And that's I think the whole community and the school and the teachers they're, they're all raising your child. And, it's a special place."
"It is, and I take comfort that she was with alll her friends, and I just envision all of them holding hands, and they're, they are all together up there, and they are up there with their wonderful principal, I mean, they have so many people up there helping 6 them, and I said to somebody like, just Sandy Hook, we have so many angels, so many bright stars, shining over all of us in this town right now, and each one of those children was, you look at their pictures, they were so beautiful. And they all had a story, and a talent."
"What did you say to Jack? I mean, how did you, because a lot of parents right now are trying to figure out what to say to their children all around the world about this."
"Telling him was by far the toughest thing to do, and I think what we did was truthful 7 honest, words that he could understand, and hoping that he'll be able to process this and how we'd help to guide him to process this over the long journey ahead."
