The Milwaukee Dancing Grannies made their first appearance since three of their members and a husband of a member were killed when a truck plowed into a Christmas parade in Waukesha.
They took to the street at the first Christmas parade in the history of the city of Franklin, wearing custom-made blue sweatshirts bearing the names of those they lost.
The Dancing Grannies walked arm in arm in a Christmas parade in Franklin, Wisconsin, on Monday in their first appearance since three members and a spouse of a member were killed on Nov. 21 when a truck plowed into a parade in Waukesha."I really think the other grannies would look down smiling, and they’ll always be in our heart," member Sharon Millard told NBC News senior national correspondent Tom Llamas on TODAY Tuesday.
"Seeing the people clapping with the signs brought tears to my eyes," Millard said."It was to me like a granny parade, for us."Some members were unable to march as they still recover from their injuries in addition to processing the trauma and grief of that day, but they were on the minds of those gathered in Franklin.
