The design for the memorial is a modified version of the entry Crescent of Embrace by Paul and Milena Murdoch.

Stories
Stories are just that. Stories and personal accounts that have been reported about the location.
We visited this location before the memorial was completed and it was a truly solemn experience. When you see the bolder that marks the crash site, and begin to read about the HEROS that were on the plane, you are truly overwhelmed with the feeling of loss and care for them and their families. There are those who may say, that this is just a normal experience, agreeable; however, I consciously noticed that although there were several people there the day we visited. Families, children, the entire area was eerily silent. This was probably mostly out of respect, but I got the feeling as if everyone who was there was feeling the same experience. We highly recommend that you stop and pay your respects at this location if you are in the area.
