Remembering Sandy Hook Elementary School

written by Bruce Chidester on December 21, 2012

From time to time we have experienced joyous occasions where I felt the need to write something to commemorate the occasion such as the Royal Wedding. Other times I have felt the need to write for less festive occasions such as the National Anthem of Haiti.

With mixed emotions this evening I wanted to offer this arrangement in remembrance of the victims and families at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

Some may wonder why I chose these numbers to combine and all I can say is I was led to do so.

Jesus Loves the Little Children

If you use this arrangement, all I ask is that you mention its purpose and that is “Remember the people in Newtown for they have lost more than anyone can imagine”.

You can find the free arrangement Here- Remembering Sandy Hook Elementary School
