"One thing I lost...one thing," Joe Conti said. "We got five out of six of the kids out, one we couldn't get. I just feel like I failed him [...] He was the sweetest kid you could ever meet. Hugged mom a thousand times a day, told her he loved her. He was just a good boy. Great boy. Just a sweet boy. The school loved him...he was just an all around amazing kid."
