UVALDE, Texas — Nearly 10 months after 19 Robb Elementary School students and two teachers were killed in one of the worst mass shootings in the country's history, mothers of those victims told ABC News their anguish hasn't gone away.
Patricia Guerra, Rosa Kim, Lauren DiMundo, Ismael Estrada, Kate Holland and Ivan Pereira, ABC NewsAna Rodríguez, Veronica Mata, Gloria Cazares and Kimberly Rubio speak with Nightline.
Nightline spoke with the mothers about their unexpected friendship and how they've been helping each other keep the memories of their children alive. "I think because I feel that connection with them because of the girls and I feel like if I don't talk to them, like, I'm missing a part of Tess," she told Nightline.
The mothers have frequently visited the murals of their daughters that were painted by a variety of Texas artists shortly after the tragedy. The group has also spent the past 10 months demanding justice for their daughters and other Robb Elementary School victims alongside other families who have lost loved ones to mass shootings."Our kids aren't here. They don't get to enjoy what they used to enjoy. They're not-- some of the things that we do we shouldn't be doing without them. No, they should be here to enjoy them too," she said.
