In the days leading up to the dedication for the 9-11 Garden of Reflection, the memorial planners learned of Barbara A. Shaw, the 18th resident of Bucks county who died on September 11, 2001. Memorial planners began work immediately on how Barbara could always be remembered amidst the growing landscape of the garden, and efforts were quickly made to include her with the other 17 victims. We’d also like to share some information about Barbara here, for those who might not have known her.
