8 years later, a torn community still bringing love out of horror

In May of 2025, I was honored to interview Tony Montalto, father of one of the very first victims Gina Rose Montalto. In August, I had the solemn honor to place 14 Roses on her grave.

I am forever indebted for this loving tribute to Gina.

RIP Gina Rose Montalto, Luke Hoyer, Martin Duque Angiano, Alex Schacter, Nicholas Dworett, Helena Ramsay, Alyssa Alhadeff, Alaina Petty, Carmen Schentrup, Chris Hixon, Aaron Feis, Scott Biegel, Meadow Pollack, Cara Loughran, Joaquin Oliver, Jaime Guttenberg and Peter Wang.
