Victoria Soto, teacher of first graders at Sandy Hook Elementary School. She had just turned 27. Bright, beautiful, with a love of teaching and her whole life ahead of her...
She was killed during Friday's massacre after hiding her students in a closet, then using her body to shield them against the bullets.
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."
-- John 15:13 (New International Version)
