NIU class of 2010 here, student on campus at the time of the 2008 shooting. Thank you for remembering Gayle Dubowski, Catalina Garcia, Julianna Gehant, Ryanne Mace, and Daniel Parmenter, and those of us who will always carry that mixed memory of fear and grieving. Foward, together, forward. 💔 - ThreadSky

❤️🖤 I pull out my copy of the Northern Star every Feb14. Wonder what they would be doing with their lives today had they had the chance... 😔

Oh wow I wonder if I still have one. We can live everyday for them! I’m actually in DeKalb now visiting my parents and drove through campus earlier. My mom was a professor there her whole career and was on campus that day. I’ll never forget when we found each other. Bittersweet moment.

Bittersweet indeed! I can only imagine. I remember my family calling me wanting to know where I was. What did your mom teach?

She was in the communicative disorders department! (Speech path, ASL, etc). Professor for decades as well as associate dean for a period of time. Incredible woman 😊
