“He always had a smile for everyone.”

🦋Sandy Hook victim, Dylan Hockley🦋

“Like many people on the spectrum, Dylan demonstrated several aspects of repetitive movement. Autistic individuals are sometimes known to rock their bodies, roll their heads or flap their hands. Dylan was a flapper. Whenever he got excited or happy, he jumped up and down and flapped as fast as he could. One day I asked Dylan, “Why do you flap?” In all honesty, because Dylan had under-developed language skills, I wasn’t expecting him to answer. But he did. He said, “Because I am a beautiful butterfly.”

A neighbor of Columbine victim, Kyle Velasquez, described him as being a boy with "simple sincerity and a genuine heart"

Happy birthday Kyle Velasquez🧡

Kyle Albert Velasquez was born on May 5th,1982. As a baby Kyle suffered a stroke which left him with permanent mental disabilities. His family struggled to find him a school with classes that suited his needs. In the year of 1999, the Velasquez’s decided to enroll their son at Columbine High School. He thrived there and seemed to enjoy his classes. Kyle had only been attending columbine for three months, when a shooting took place at the school on April 20th. He was the first person to be killed in the library. His life was cut short at the age of 16.

Kyle was described as a “gentle giant”. He was loving, sincere, and affectionate. He loved to help his dad around the house, doing chores, mowing the lawn, washing the car. He enjoyed spending time with his family. Everyday he would give his mom a kiss on the cheek, and accompanied her everywhere while she ran errands. Kyle dreamed of one day joining the Navy or becoming a firefighter.

The 13 angels❤️👼

On April 20th 1999, 13 innocent people were senselessly killed in a shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado. Today, 20 years later, we still feel the void of their absence. We remember their lives, the people they were, and who they could’ve become. Although their time here was cut short, they live on in our memories everyday. We will not forget them.
