Upper Makefield Township honors 7 flash flood victims with new memorial garden

(WPHL) — Two years ago, 7 victims lost their lives due to the flash flood that took place in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Now, after two years, survivors, first responders, township employees, and officials gathered together for the dedication of the Brownsburg Park Memorial Butterfly Garden. The new memorial butterfly garden will ensure that the memory of Katie Seley, Matilda Sheils, Conrad Sheils, Enzo and Linda Depiero, Yuko Love, and Susan Barnhart will live on in the community.

Zach DiPiero, who is the son of Enzo and Linda DePiero, spoke about what the garden means to him: “The garden symbolizes in a lot of ways just how deep, pronounced, and consistent everyone’s support for us has been.” “The memorial garden, for us, will be a place for us to think about my folks,” he said.

The Upper Makefield Township Police Department posted on their social media that they encourage people to visit the garden and use it as a place for remembrance, reflection, hope, and healing, as this would be the best way to honor the memories of those for whom this garden was built.
