Mission accomplished. Ellen Saracini longs to say those words.
The widow of Victor Saracini, a United Airlines pilot killed in the terror attacks on 9/11, she has worked non-stop for the past 20 years to build The Garden of Reflection in Lower Makefield.
The project has been an outstanding success, as the memorial attracts more than 100,000 visitors each year who come to pay their respects to the 2,973 victims who lost their lives in the attacks that tragic day, including 18 from Bucks County.
But Saracini has spearheaded a new goal to ensure that The Garden will be cared for into perpetuity. A campaign to raise $2 million is approaching the finish line just $200,000 more is needed.
