It only seems appropriate to us that a monument of significance mark the final resting place of a young man whose life was of  such significance to us.

     This monument is 15” square at its base, to signify his 15 years on this earth. It is cut from black granite, mined from Africa. As it rises up, this strong and graceful sculpture takes an unexpected twist on it way toward heaven, much like Graham’s life.  Graham is buried only 2 blocks from Downtown in the public cemetery.

    We would like to thank some special people for helping us make this monument possible, Graham’s grandparents: Roy and Dorothy Gonnella, Graham’s godfather: Chris Roan; and our very dear friends: Jim and Pat Pierce.   Memorial flowers are maintained by the students of Franklin Academy, the Cooper family, the Lopez family led by Traci and Gabby Lopez, Bill and Chris Leahey.
