Send Your Thoughts and Prayers from Marlboro and Colts Neck to Newtown

There are never concrete answers to the question "why" after a tragedy like the shooting of an elementary school in Newtown, CT.

28 people died on Friday, Dec. 14 in an elementary school filled with hundreds of children in grades 1 through 4 and their teachers, administrators and staff.

What we can do, as a nation, is become a support system for everyone impacted and devastated.

As they do their jobs and continue to keep their residents informed, we'd like to offer everyone in Newton our sincere support and love.
