During a time filled with so much hate the best thing we can do is join together and radiate positivity.

Meet The Faces Of Manchester

When I decided to write this article I knew it was very important to go about it the right way. It is important to show compassion, empathy, and respect for all of those affected by what occurred. I decided not to use the words "victims" or "attack" because I think those are the kinds of words that give the horrible person behind this power. I think it is also important I talk as little about this person as possible because in my opinion we should be focusing our energy on celebrating the lives of the people who are no longer with us rather than dwelling on the negativity. During a time filled with so much hate the best thing we can do is join together and radiate positivity.

Georgina Callander

Georgina was an 18-year-old Runshaw College student from Lancashire. She was also known as an Ariana "superfan."

Saffie Rose Roussos

Saffie, only 8 years old was described as "a beautiful girl in every aspect of the world" by a past teacher.

John Atkinson














John, a 26-year-old man who was described as amazing kind and thoughtful will be missed by many.

Olivia Campbell

Olivia, just 15 who was thought to be missing when the incident occurred. Her mom took to Facebook writing a post in memory of her daughter who she says will be "singing with the angels".

Kelly Brewster

It was said that Kelly covered her niece from the explosion. At 40 years old she will be remembered as a hero.

Alison Howe & Lisa Lees

Friends and mothers 45 and 47 waited outside the concert to pick up their daughters. Both were considered such sweet people who will truly be missed.

Angelika and Marcin Klis


Parents, 40 and 42 were waiting at the concert to pick up their daughters. Both their children are safe.

Martyn Hett


29 year old Hett was separated from friends at the concert. His partner and brother both took to social media to remember an great man.

Nell Jones

Jane Tweddle-Taylor

A 50 year old school receptionist went to the concert with a friend to pick up her daughter. The friend and her daughter survived. She was also a mother of 3.

May those introduced above as well as any others who were killed rest in the sweetest peace. They will never be forgotten. My thoughts are also with any other people who were injured as well as the families and friends of those who attended this concert. I send my positive thoughts and prayers to everyone involved.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
