Legacy.com Establishes Online Guest Book for Victims of Crandon, Wisconsin shootings

Legacy.com, which partners with newspapers around the country to create online memorials and obituaries, has created a special Guest Book for the victims in Sunday's shootings in Crandon, Wisconsin. In it, your readers can share memories of those killed or offer condolences to their families.

A link to the Guest Book is prominently featured on Legacy.com’s Home Page at: http://www.legacy.com.

You may access the general Guest Book for the six young people killed in the shootings at:

http://www.legacy.com/GB/GuestbookView.aspx?PersonId=95804672. To date, 115 people have signed the group Guest Book.

Legacy.com also has created individual Guest Books for Katrina McCorkle, Jordanne Murray, Bradley Schultz, Aaron Smith, Lindsey Stahl and Leanna Thomas. Those are accessible at:

There is no registration required or cost to sign Guest Books on Legacy.com. You're welcomed to use the link in your news coverage. In the past, reporters have quoted from Legacy.com Guest Books to provide insight into how mourners are dealing with a tragedy. 
 

Besides creating online memorials for individuals, Legacy.com creates special Guest Books to remember victims of national tragedies or accidents. For example, more than 43,000 individuals have shared their condolences and remembrances of the victims at Virginia Tech.
