Sadie Lillard can’t remember her sisters Sophie and Madigan. Her brother, Mason, never met them.
When 6-year-old Sophie and 3-year-old Madigan were killed in a January 2013 fire at the Lillards’ home near Myersville, Sadie was an infant, and Mason hadn’t been born.

Thank you for this memorial to your two beautiful daughters. I pray that you find comfort in the smiles of thousands of children who will spend time at the park.

My one- and three-year-old grandsons had a wonderful time there last Thursday! Thank you for building this playground in memory of your daughters.
Incredible!
A beautiful memorial to two beautiful young girls.
