JetBlue Delivers Farewell Letters To Be Buried With 6-Year-Old Newtown Shooting Victim Noah Pozner

From http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/17/jetblue-newtown-noah-pozner_n_2316157.html

Noah's parents had requested that family members who couldn't attend the funeral pen letters to Noah to be buried with him, the funeral was this morning.

Travelers Today reported that a friend of Noah's aunt, Victoria, asked several airlines via Twitter to help deliver the letters from Noah's relatives on Sunday after Victoria was unable to use a typical mail carrier on such a tight deadline.

Within minutes, MSN reported, JetBlue responded in the affirmative. "It's the least we can do to help a family that's been so tragically affected," JetBlue tweeted. "We're honored to do it."
