“I just remember it so clearly when it happened, and it was just so horrific and I wanted to come down here and feel a part of the memorial,” Bishop said.

Many paused their lives to walk through the site and remember how, on Orlando’s darkest day, the community came together.

“I saw the love, the support come out from the community,” Lundell said.
