SANTA FE, Texas – A year has passed since the tragic Santa Fe High School shooting that claimed the lives of 10 people, among them Pamela Stanich's son, Jared Conard.
“Every day is the same day, you live it over and over again. On Saturday is just another day, it's no different than another day no different than tomorrow will be,” Stanich said.
But Stanich said honoring her son's memory, along with memories of the other victims helps her cope with her grief.
