Sandy Hook Mom Writes Open Letter to Parents of Slain Elementary School Student

SANDY HOOK, CT — The mother of Dylan Hockley, a 6-year-old first grade student who was killed in the Sandy Hook tragedy, has written an open letter to the mother of Jacob Hall, the South Carolina student who was killed in a school shooting.

"Although grief is very personal and unique, I have a sense of the journey you are on, the pain, and eventually hope, that walks alongside you. As I listened to you speak, I saw myself in you. The early shock and inability to understand what is happening, the feeling that the world is completely out of control and the ground you stand on is unstable. As a mother and grieving parent, I am here for you now and always, in any way I am able. My heart is with you." -Nicole Hockley

Since the Sandy Hook School shootings on December 14, 2012, Hockley and other parents have worked tirelessly to prevent similar tragedies by working for "common sense gun solutions." Read more here.
