“Friday night you stole the life of an exceptional being, the love of my life, the mother of my son, but you will not have my hatred,” he wrote. “I do not know who you are and I do not want to know. You are dead souls. If God, for which you kill blindly, made us in his image, then every bullet in my wife’s body will be a wound in His heart.”

American Nohemi Gonzalez, 23, lost her life in the attacks. She traveled to the city to participate in an exchange program at the Strate College of Design. Mourners remembered her on Sunday in Long Beach, where she attended California State University.

“Nohemi was something of a star in our department,” design professor Michael LaForte told KQED. “She was a shining star, and she brought joy, happiness, laughter to everybody she worked with and her students, her classmates. She functioned like a bit of a mentor to younger students.”

Mashable developed a Twitter account to remember the 129 people killed in the Paris terrorist attacks on Friday.

“To remember the victims, Mashable launched a Twitter project — @ParisVictims — where we’ll send one tweet for every victim of the attacks on Nov. 13,” wrote Brian Ries. “If you knew one of the people who lost their lives, or simply want to share a thought, use the hashtag #enmémoire.”
