I stumbled across a church in Easton, Connecticut.
There is a memorial garden beside the church.
There are many small plaques in the garden. Some plaques are for parishioners who were very old when they died, but there are also some plaques for children who lived only a couple of years.
Three stones memorialize family members who died on September 11, 2001. Peter and Sue Kim Hanson were in their thirties, but poor Christine Lee Hanson was only two and a half years old. They were on a plane that was commandeered by terrorists on September 11, 2001, and crashed into a tower at the World Trade Center. I looked up "Christine Lee Hanson" and found this poignant story.

What a beautiful church surrounded by the glories of a perfect spring day. Yes, the tragedy of 9/11 continues to echo through our society. I watched the second plane crash into the World Trade Center live on TV. The death of Christine Lee Hanson makes the tragedy all the more personal.
Nice looking church.
