A mother whose daughter was killed at Columbine referred to the "holes in our hearts" at the ceremony for a memorial to the 13 people killed. Dawn Anna Beck's daughter, Lauren Townsend, was among 12 students killed in April 1999 in the nation's deadliest school shootings. "We are all left with what life might have been and the permanent emptiness that will never be filled . The holes in our hearts never grow smaller," she said. Former President Bill Clinton also spoke, saying millions of Americans were changed by Columbine. He said the day of the shootings was among his darkest while in the White House: "This memorial is not only so that you will never forget the people you loved, but so that through your life you can honour their's." Clinton has pledged to help match the money needed to build a memorial in Jefferson County's Clement Park, which is next to Columbine High School. About 400-thousand US dollars is still needed to pay for a one-and-a-half million dollar monument. The memorial will include a water fountain and stations for each of the victims. Messages from their families will be engraved on one of two rings around the site. Students Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed a teacher and 12 students in their rampage, the nation's deadliest school shooting.
