Fifty\u002Deight towering, candlelike beams will cast a blanket of warm light on visitors in the design concept chosen Wednesday
Smith’s sister, Neysa Tonks, a 46-year-old mother of three from Las Vegas, was killed in the shooting.
Another committee member, Karessa Royce, was among the more than 850 others who were injured in the attack. A junior at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, at the time of the shooting, she said her work on the committee helped guide her through the aftermath..“When I woke up in the hospital in 2017 the day after the shooting, I never could’ve imagined the journey we’d be on together,” Royce said, her voice cracking as she clutched a tissue in her hand.
It envisions a park in the shape of an infinity symbol on the northeast corner of the concert venue where the festival was held, and 22,000 lights for the number of concertgoers that night. A looping path will take visitors through a garden area, past a 58-foot glass tower and to a “remembrance ring” with the 58 candles. Each beam will display the name and a photo of a victim.
The alternate design features 15 large horse statues representing the home states and countries of the victims, as well as two smaller horses in honor of the dozens of children whose parents were killed. The permanent memorial will be separate from a community healing garden that was built downtown in the days after the shooting by more than 1,000 volunteers.
