One local business is hoping to ease the pain of families in Newtown, Connecticut, and is asking for the community’s help as well. Danielle Bertrand, at Bertrand Monument, is asking for people to consider putting their name in a memorial book she’s sending out on Friday. She hopes a book of names will show families that they are in the hearts and prayers of everyone and that their loss is being felt throughout the country and world.
You can stop by Bertrand Monument, which is located on Highway 14 just south of Knoxville. You can also call at 828-7172 and request your name be placed in the book. She’s also sending a Christmas ornament for the family of each of the diseased. The ornament will be heart-shaped and have their name and date of birth.
