Jaime Guttenberg is an important part of our book. Please keep her family and the other MSD families in your hearts today. We love you guys. ❤️

Our book is being adapted for the stage by @RavenTheater. It’s important to know on today of all days that people will still hear the stories of Nick Dworet and his classmates in this way. #ParklandStrong @msin10 @skyhorsepub @fred_guttenberg

Some of these families have stories in our book, @IfIDontTheBook I will never forget hearing what Alex Jones did to the Parker family. These families are heroes and I this was a remarkable act of courage. Let this be the start of it. You’re done, #AlexJones
