WATERTOWN â Allison F. Gorham thought âit was absolutely necessaryâ when President Joseph R. Biden attended a memorial at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., last month to honor the more than 400,000 Americans who died from the coronavirus.
The TenEyck Street resident wanted to do the same for those who died locally from COVID-19.
She put up a memorial in Clinton Park, the small city-owned park at Holcomb and South Massey streets that sheâs decorated for holidays for the past 11 years. Completed on Wednesday, itâs the first memorial in the city devoted to the victims of the pandemic.
