“Fly high, angels,” reads one of 91 engraved bricks that surrounds a new swinging bench memorial at Tasker Park in Peconic.
The memorial was built by Girl Scout Troop 261 from Cutchogue East and Greenport Elementary for their Bronze Award project and unveiled during a ceremony at the park Sunday.
It honors Morgan West, who died at age 9 in 2018 after a six-and-a-half-year battle with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, a highly aggressive brain tumor, and Amber Stulsky, who was 10 when she died in a car crash at Route 48 and Chapel Lane the night before she would have started fifth grade at Southold Elementary in 2019.
