New York State Missing Persons Remembrance Dedicated

New York State has dedicated the first Missing Persons Remembrance site in the United States. The site features an eternal flame on top of a stainless steel sculpture and is at the Empire State Plaza Memorial Park in Albany, NY. Mary and Doug Lyall, founders of the Center of Hope, helped the city dedicate the memorial.

“In our hearts, we will always hold out hope for the safe return of those who are missing, and today, we open a special site that will symbolize our love and never-ending quest to bring them home,” Governor George Pataki said. “This Remembrance will be a site for reflection and fond memories, as well as a place to renew our spirits and pray for those who are missing. 

The Remembrance features a 10-foot square grey granite base, with a 20-foot stainless steel sculptural frame detailed with a machine-ground finish. Atop the frame, rests an eternal flame, meant to light the way home for missing persons. The polished face of the base has an engraved signature statement: “As A Symbol Of Our Eternal Hope May This Flame Light Their Way Home.”via the North Country Gazette.
