Instead of watching their kids walk across the stage to get their diploma, parents of nine Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students senselessly taken away walked across the stage themselves to receive a shadow box to remember their child’s life on Tuesday.

The class of 2021 were freshman when a horrific shooting on the school’s campus killed 17 people and injured 17 more at the hands of a former student in 2018.

Lori Alhadeff’s daughter was one of the freshmen killed.
