Remembering the Person, Not the Tragedy
Both families have been clear: they do not want their loved ones remembered solely through the lens of tragedy. They want their stories told fully — with all the warmth, humor, flaws, dreams, and contradictions that make someone real.Family games
They speak of aspirations that were still unfolding, plans that were never completed, and futures that were imagined but never reached. These unrealized dreams are among the most painful aspects of loss. Yet, they also serve as a testament to how much life still lived within them.
Grief Shared, Humanity Remembered
In the wake of loss, the families have found strength in shared remembrance. Stories exchanged at gatherings, messages sent late at night, and moments of silence collectively affirm that their loved ones mattered. These shared acts of memory become a way to keep them present, even in absence.
They also hope that by emphasizing compassion and humanity, something meaningful can emerge from the pain. Not a justification, not a lesson imposed from outside, but a reminder of the value of empathy, care, and connection — the very qualities their loved ones embodied.
