Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee called February 20 a “tragic and difficult day in Rhode Island’s history.”
"My fiancé and I were there that night," said survivor Gina Russo."He didn't make it, I did. So I have to honor them," Russo said."I remember thinking how would I ever live through this? How, how am I going to live?" survivor Gina Russo told NBC 10 WJAR.
"I try to remember the good things," said Jody King, who lost his brother, Tracy in the fire."Tracy was gregarious and out there and loved life. He would love the fact that we were here today." On the 20th anniversary of the fire, community members felt the mass was necessary to help ease the trauma and grief they still feel from the tragedy.
"I pray for continued healing," Providence Co-adjutor Bishop Richard Henning said."I pray for all those who continue to put themselves at risk caring for others in our hospitals and first responders, and I hope and pray that we are become evermore a community that that has compassion and solidarity, one for each other.""Thank you for the 20 years that you've stuck by us, all of you, the whole community," Russo said.
