Peg Brokaw, 95, had missed the early Saturday morning Mass at St. Rose of Lima, on Church Hill Road in Newtown, but said she would go inside and say a prayer, anyway. She has lived in this town a long time, and tells you her son is a retired policeman here, one who still directs traffic in front of the church occasionally.
And because this was another December in Newtown, two years now since 20 children and six adults were shot dead inside Sandy Hook Elementary, because Peg Brokaw stood outside what became the church of small coffins in Newtown, she was asked about that day.
“It is,” she said, “the kind of sadness that lives forever.”
Behind her, underneath the statue of the Blessed Virgin in front of St. Rose, there is a memorial to that sadness, a lovely mural sent to Msgr. Robert Weiss to commemorate the second year since the shooting, the names of the dead of Sandy Hook listed in small, colorful boxes. After Mass on this morning men and women of the church had been setting white candles on the walkway leading to the statue, and the mural.
“When they’re lit I imagine it will look like a stairway to heaven,” Peg Brokaw said....

My dog got run over by a car.
My solution is to ban cars.
waaa waaa waaa
I know the purpose that Sandy Hook/Newtown was foisted on us. Still, it would be really satisfying to one day learn what really took place during that time.
America also continues to protect the first amendment rights of effeminate anti-gun nuts...
Why do they think it is a good idea to mess with this old lady at Christmas time?
Why mess with her at all?
Newtown is as much a testament to stupid liberals as it is to gun violence. Who gives their mentally troubled offspring guns and ammo?

Mike Lupica is so cute I just want to pinch his cheeks.
Played softball against Mike Lupica in Central Park many years ago. He was a total dweeb, uncoordinated and weedy, but “real intense”. Know what I mean? I major jerk.
It’s a shame that the tragic deaths of all of those children is cheapened by the soulless liberals, because the terrible event of that day is twisted to fit into their narrative/agenda for more “gun control”.
If The killer would have used a knife, or a chainsaw, I wonder if the media would even write about it.
The media isn’t biased.
If you racist, sexist, homophobic Teabaggers were smarter you’d know that.
If guns were really dangerous, would our government be giving them to Mexican Drug gangs and al Queda backed rebels in Syria?
/sarc(?)
These a$$holes are the same ones that get their panties in a bunch over the CIA torture crap. The only people that need guns are cops and the military, except not they are not sure if the cops should have guns and they don’t want the military at all.
I am sure they could convince the bad guys not to behead them or rape their wives and daughters.
I don’t think another 9/11 attack would make them rethink their ideas because they are in the right and all of us are in the wrong.
NYDN...bite me.
Not only are we no longer buying your act, we’re daring you to come and get us.
Or gasoline fire bombs. No call to ban gasoline would be heard and no cries of gasoline violence.
Mike Lupica isn’t a ‘man’.
He’s a middle aged version of ‘Pajama Boy’. If he got a flat tire, he’d probably cry and call somebody, rather than even trying to change it himself.
Too many “males” like him have ruined our country.
He probably sits down to piss.....
Maybe we already know what took place. Some autistic kid shot up the school.
Translation:
Why, two years after this tragedy, have we not punished those who had nothing to do with it?
“....it would be really satisfying to one day learn what really took place during that time.”.......
Never gonna happen!
