Beautiful - Sad I

Piermont Village, New York State view map

This statue and the beautiful spring flowers around it caught my eye. There is a public library across the street from it. But upon closer inspection and reading the plaque I almost broke out in tears.
In memoriam of the Hancock children who lost their lives in a tragic house fire on March 2, 1978.
George H. Hancock 5 years old - Patricia L. Hancock 6 years old - John H. Hancock 3 years old

Dedicated by the officers and members of the Piermont-New York Fire Department 2018

Sh...you are right, it is a very emotional memorial- still it like it much better than all those mammoth equestrian statues- this has a much more human scale! If you had not pointed out the sad story behind it I might have taken it for something like " To Tomorrow's Readership" ~V~
