INNOCENTS LOST

The 26 who were murdered at Sandy Hook

LAUREN ROUSSEAU, 30

The teacher is still missed by boyfriend Anthony Lusardi III, who is close with her mum, Terri. “I surprised Terri for lunch,” he says. “She said, ‘Lauren would have loved that.’”

NOAH POZNER, 6

Arielle, Noah’s twin sister, is 11 now, says their father, Lenny, who moved the family to Florida after the shooting. “I wonder what Noah would look like now.”

AVIELLE RICHMAN, 6

Her parents created the Avielle Foundation to study the science behind violence and compassion. Avielle wanted to be “an artist and a spy,” reads the website.

RACHEL D’AVINO, 29

A therapist working with students on the autism spectrum, Rachel now has her name on a scholarship for those continuing her life’s passion.

CAROLINE PREVIDI, 6

She was planning to buy Christmas presents for poor kids. Her family now runs a foundation that gives kids access to things Caroline loved: dance, art, music and sports.

JESSICA REKOS, 6

She couldn’t wait to sell Girl Scout cookies and wanted to “ride forever” on horseback. The Jessica Rekos Foundation sponsors Orca research and equestrian lessons.

Her family gave funds to a dog park so that the giggly Daisy Scout “will continue to bring joy to this community.” The foundation in her name awards veterinary medicine scholarships to honour Charlotte’s dream of becoming a veterinarian. Grace has a beachside playground named for her in Mystic, Connecticut, where her parents Lynn and Chris got engaged. The outdoorsy ball of energy who loved helping his dad is remembered through an annual 5K run in his birthplace of Milford, Connecticut. JOSEPHINE GAY, 7 “We keep her at the heart of everything we do,” says mum Michele, co-founder of the non-profit Safe and Sound Schools. Dedicating a playground in Jack’s name in 2013, Dean Pinto said it was the perfect memorial for his son who had a “love of play and playgrounds.” Allison’s drawings turned her home into an art museum. “She was a sweet, creative, funny, intelligent girl,” said her parents. Madeleine loved reading says Bill Lavin, founder of the group that built playgrounds honouring victims. Madeleine’s includes a library.
