War Memorial Update (Connie English)

Connie recently installed her "Daughter" cross at the War Memorial in Lafayette, California. Here's her story:

A few weeks ago I had a conversation with Nadia McCaffrey, about her 6 year old granddaughter, Janessa, who lost her father Patrick (3 years ago) in this war.

This cross is therefore dedicated to Janessa, as her story inspired me to create a cross to represent "all" daughters; the parents of women soldiers, the women themselves and the daughters of soldiers killed in War.

Connie plans to do more of these and will start looking for sponsors. Half of the proceeds will go to a non-profit for soldiers recovering from the war. I'll keep you posted as I find out more.
