Hi I wanted to ask you if you had known Gina Montalto personally, like was she a friend of yours or something ? I'm terribly hurt for her, her family, friends and everyone who knew her, I'm just feeling very depressed right now after researching this shooting upon seeing a vid of the trial on youtube.. God bless you

hi, unfortunately I didn't get to know Gina until after her death. It's incredibly sad, I would like to have a friend like Gina in my life, she seemed like the sun, she always smiled and seemed like a very nice person who could make you forget about a bad mood. I’m sorry that she died, that they died, the best die, who are quickly forgotten and all attention is switched to the killer, but in fact, wonderful people who have been deprived of the right to life deserve attention.

Therefore, I felt it necessary to create this blog, and at least here give them the attention they deserve. thank you 🤍

As a result of a missile attack on Odessa, an entire family died - Valeria Glodan, her 3-month-old daughter Kira and the baby's grandmother

“It was the best 40 weeks. Our little girl is already a month old. Dad gave the first flowers. This is a new level of happiness,” Valeria wrote on February 5, 19 days before the war.

God, this baby was only a month old when the war started, it's heartbreaking and painful. I am ashamed that the Russian army is doing this on behalf of the Russian people, on my behalf.

Remember their smiles, they deserve itღ

[sadmmann]

Remember their faces. Remember their names. Remember their dreams. Remember their talents. Remember their parents and friends. Remember the future they could have. Remember and respect their short life.

[sadmmann]

Remember and never let this happen again. No fathers, no mothers, no brothers, no sister, no one should shed tears because their relative went to school in the morning.

My little edit about the beautiful, amazing and talented Jaime Guttenberg ღ

[sadmmann]

Lori  Alhadeff got a text from a friend on Valentine’s Day at 2:41 p.m. about a shooting at the high school. She got in her car, drove to the school, parked on a sidewalk, and ran. “I was screaming and I was grabbing myself,” she said. “Because I knew, I needed Alyssa, I needed to help her. I knew she was in trouble. I felt like she was telling me, ‘Mommy, help me, help me — I’m hurt.’”

At one point, Lori ran through yellow tape, and then tried to push through “a big guy with all muscle, with his gun.

“They pushed me back,” she said.

She then waited near the school, at a Marriott hotel from 5 in the evening to 2:30 in the morning. She remembered telling their rabbi at the hotel at 10 p.m. to start planning her 14-year-old daughter’s funeral. He told her to “still have hope.

Even so, when they heard from officials that Alyssa had died, her mom didn’t believe it until the next morning. “I didn’t have 100% closure until I saw her face the next day.” At 8 a.m. after picking up her mom, Lori went to the coroner’s office, and looked at a photo of her daughter’s face, as they wouldn’t allow her to see Alyssa’s body in person. That’s when she knew, with absolute certainty, that her daughter had died.

here is my first video dedicated to the cute girl Alyssa . I did it in tears, I was hysterical. Alyssa was supposed to live the life of which is sung in the song. She should have gained voice and fame, should have become a professional footballer should have married and had many children, had to live sixty years and not a year less. I want to believe that Alyssa sees from heaven all the love that people send to her, sees how her family fights for her and keeps her memory alive. I hope she is proud and happy..

I love you beautiful angel.

(Sorry for the mistake in the name at the beginning I noticed it only after saving the video)
