ARCADIA — Approximately 20 people braved a chilly morning Friday to pay tribute to the victims lost in the tragic event at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Organized by Lori Coker, owner of Precious Angels Home Care, the event was held downtown behind the Historic Arcadia sign, where on Tuesday Coker had placed a wooden cross containing the photographs of the 20 children and six adults slain by Adam Lanza on Dec. 14.
