Governor Malloy will attend as many funerals as he can.

He continued: “Today for instance, there were two funerals at the same time so I don’t think I’m going to all of them.

“But I think one of us will do our utmost to attend any funeral that we’re welcome at.
“There are really no words to describe what it’s like to see these parents as I did on Friday, last night going from room to room in the company of President Barack Obama and then again with respect to Noah’s parents today.

“It’s tough to see relatives and friends of these little children who died, and as well as to see some of the teachers who have been so adversely impacted.

“The reality with respect to the relatives is you try to feel their pain, but you can’t. You try to find some words that you hope will be adequate, knowing that they’ll be inadequate.

“And you see little coffins and your heart has to ache.’’

Brave man. I've had to do that [not for children thank God] and it is not easy.
