He recalled that the pairs "visits to the families in the days after the attack were the 'hardest two hours of either of our lives".

"After the first family I had to help her, she was distraught and I was lost. It was beyond tough. But every single time we got down we reminded each other we get to go home."

She wrote: "I want to take a moment to acknowledge and send my love to everyone that is feeling the sadness and and tremendous heaviness of the anniversary coming up this week."
