Catherine Violet Hubbard

“Sunday morning, two days after the shooting, two days that felt like two eternities, I sat with my husband, Matt, on our living room couch in Newtown, Connecticut, staring at the blank document on my laptop, wondering where to start, how to start. How to find the words to write my little girl’s obituary.”
This is the opening paragraph of a story no one who reads it will ever forget, written by the mother of one of the twenty children murdered at Newtown, CT. Their daughter Catherine loved animals and when her mother struggled to write her obituary, she added a line that donations could be made in lieu of flowers to a local animal rescue. She and her husband would later be stunned to learn that the shelter received over $175,000 in donations from all around the world, and the rescue—which had been made up of volunteers—decided to create the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary.
