As I mentioned earlier, in addition to the middle circular area where each of the 13 victims (heroes as I like to call them) were memorialized, they developed a back wall with sayings from students/parents regarding that horrific day...
Here are some amazing examples of what people said and remember about the Columbine tragedy...
You cannot leave this memorial site without feeling overwhelmed, asking yourself how something like this could have happened. We drive past this school daily and each time I imagine the horror of the day. Truthfully, it's a bit unnerving.
I'm so happy that enough money was raised to errect such a beautiful memorial in honor of those killed. The victims, their families, the school, the students, the teachers, the community...they deserve to be honored, and remembered!

Those quotes pull at the heart strings! I think we all remember where we were when we heard about this tragic event. Thanks for sharing.
Such a heartbreaking time in history. Thank you for showing us the beautiful memorial Linda. And I do understand about the blogging thing!
Hope you are enjoying your vacation.

Thanks for posting some of those quotes. I too, am glad they got the funds to build a memorial.
HI!!!!
That was a very sad day, and I am so glad the memorial is done to honor those who died, some were real heroes. God Bless them and some I think were shot because they took the bullet for a fellow student or I think a teacher may have jumped in.
One gal I thought was shot over her faith in God, and her parents go to high schools today spreading the Gospel.
God Bless them!!!!
When are you coming back to AZ????
Let me know

Oh Linda...those made me cry.
Those quotes make my heart hurt. I just cannot imagine what those children and their families went/and still go through. God bless them all.
I remember that day vividly. So glad to know there is a memorial to those who lost their lives.
Oh my goodness, gives me chills. The quotes are unbelievable.
Thanks for showing us, Linda.

That is a day I will never forget. My husand's aunt lives there in Littleton so it was 'close to home'. What a horrific tragedy.
WOW....those saying writen in stone were amazing...no even more then that.
My sister lived not far from Columbine. Her kids would have gone to that school had they not moved just 2 years before that happened.
Life...is so fragile
Honestly Linda, I teared up just reading this, it really hit me so hard when it happened, thinking of my children.
Thank you for sharing the memorial.
