They had names. Their lives mattered.

They were mothers and fathers. Brothers and sisters. Aunt and uncles. Cousins and family you only saw at weddings and reunions. They were friends and co-workers. The person that sat in front of you at class. They mattered. Don't let the joy of their lives be sucked away by how they left it. They. Matter. More.
Make some noise. Be cheerful. Be happy that we had these wonderful people, if only for a short while (partial list).

Just because they're in a famous band doesn't make them any less human.
