For their courage and strength they have shown all of us as they deal with the tragic event that unfolded at their home in October.
Courage. They displayed in the horrific moments of that morning, when gunfire rang out, bullets hurdled past then and death was near. They showed it in front of the throng of media during the hours, days and weeks afterward and as they comforted each other through this unimaginable ordeal and mind-bending sadness. They mustered it when they reopened their place of work, telling the world that love and compassion and not fear nor hate conquers all. Courage. If anyone, anywhere ever needs an example of it, they can find it in this strong and close group of hair stylists, nail technicians, massage therapists and estheticians. As a result, we at the Brookfield Patch has named the family of Azana Salon and Spa the people of the year for …

Just days after a Brown Deer man opened fire at the Azana Salon & Spa, Waukesha college students hold a vigil in the victim's memories.
Carroll University held a candlelight vigil Wednesday night to remember the victims of the Azana Salon & Spa shooting. Eight children lost their mothers in Sunday's mass shooting at the spa: Zina Haughton's two daughters, Cary Robuck's two daughters and Maelyn Lind's daughter and three sons. All three mothers worked at the spa, with Robuck and Lind holding down other jobs as well to make ends meet with their spouses or partners. The women lost their lives and four other women — three Azana employees and one customer — were injured in Sunday's mass shooting by Haughton's estranged husband, Radcliffe Haughton.

Keith Hanson had watched his daughter, Maelyn Lind, fight her way through financial trouble and work three jobs to support her four children. He had seen her inner strength and compassion. So Hanson wasn't surprised when he learned from coworkers and police that his daughter, 38, had risked her own life to save a fellow Azana Salon & Spa employee from a gunman. He believes that fellow employee was Yasmeen Daniel, the daughter of Zina Haughton, 42, the principal target in Sunday's shooting and Lind's close friend. "Maelyn had stepped in front of the gun and took the bullet when he was going to shoot her," Hanson told Patch on Monday. "My daughter is an angel," he said, his voice choking with emotion. "She took a bullet for her friend’s …
