BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — The sound of bagpipes filled the air at the Public Garden Monday morning as dozens of families remembered loved ones killed in the Sept. 11 attacks.
Each year on the anniversary of 9/11, families come to the Garden of Remembrance to lay down wreaths for the victims and carry on their legacy.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said the garden serves as a place of peace and reflection for the victims' families.
“[It’s] a space intended to be a sanctuary among the silent witnesses of trees, including those that carry such special meaning from ground zero," said Wu.
During the ceremony, Karin Giansanti took the time to share stories about her husband Ken who died during the attacks.
“Any opportunity I have to share a story about Ken or put his name out there means the world to me,” said Giansanti. “It keeps his spirit alive and keeps him present.”
