About Me

Our Garden Of Angels located in Euless,Texas was started orignally at the place where the police discovered the body of Amy Robinson. Amy's grandmother Carolyn Barker went to the site and at that time decided that Amy should be remembered. She wanted her life to be remembered.Greg Price who had made a few roadside crosses met Carolyn at a support group.His Nephew had also been murdered. He had made a cross for Sam Price (his nephew) and placed it at the site he was murdered. Carolyn asked Greg if he could make a cross for Amy and he did. At the time a BLVD.. was about to go through right where the crosses were and a construction company( A&A construction)donated a area at the end of their property and with several other companies helped to build this wonderful garden to place the crosses so that the new BLVD. could be done. Amy did not like to be alone so Carolyn asked some other victims of homicide to join Amy. The main garden is full and we have started a new addition across the street. We have 107 and several more being made. The crosses are 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide. the small children's crosses are a foot shorter and only 2 feet wide. Greg Price ( The Cross Man ) says it is a bittersweet experience,he has met so many wonderful people- but only because they lost a loved one to homicide. JoAnn Meriwether had taken her niece(Tiffany Painter) to the garden 2 weeks before she was murdered so she says the garden holds a very special bond with her family. The garden is a special place to all to remember the lifes of their loved one's and not how they were taken away!
