"Anyone who's lost someone, particularly if you've lost someone in a violent fashion, knows that the grief never really leaves you. But the firsts are really hard, and so this will be another really difficult first."
— House DFL Leader Zack Stephenson, a close Hortman friend and protégé.
What to expect: Day one will be dedicated to honoring the Hortmans, with a joint event in the House chamber for legislators and family.
A reception with cake and bread (their favorite items to bake), music and therapy dogs will follow.
