8 year third grader Martin Richard died Monday as the result of the senseless horrific acts of violence yesterday caused by a bomb explosion, while waiting for family friends to cross the finish line at the Boston Marathon.
His mother and 6-year-old sister were injured severely.
Lucia Brawley, a friend of Martin's former teacher, posted a photo on Facebook-Click Here, of the 8-year-old holding a sign with an important, and now haunting message. A message that should be shared, and heard, far and wide.
The picture was taken last year when Martin was in Rachel Moo's second grade class at the Neighborhood House Charter School. Moo attended the Boston Marathon Monday and then went home to Worcester covered in debris only to learn that one of her students had been killed.
There are NO words, Except Martin's:
"NO MORE HURTING PEOPLE. PEACE"
MARTIN RICHARD
