"Courage Garden Gazebo"
The loss of the gazebo, the cornerstone of the Courage Garden, is heartbreaking for those of us who love and appreciate the beauty and gifts of comfort, solitude and peace it provided.
And while we mourn this, we are so thankful that no one was hurt and that the fire didn't spread to the rest of the garden. Many thanks to Golden police and Fire and the citizens that reported the flames.
Jeffco law enforcement agencies donated the funds for the community to build the gazebo in his memory. Sgt. Mossbrucker’s father built the wooden benches inside.
