The Cornell Family, victims whose property was devastated by Hurricane Sandy, received a free landscape design makeover, which will be revealed and open to the press on Saturday, Nov. 21 at 12 p.m. The redesign and backyard construction was a gift from Above All Masonry. A retired NYPD officer, Rich Cornell, was present at the Twin Towers during the 1993 bombings, and now works at the 9/11 memorial.
A pear tree was planted in the Cornell’s own “survival area” in the yard, inspired by the pear tree near Ground Zero that survived the 9/11 attacks and now functions as a symbol of hope at the memorial. Homeowner Ann Cornell said “I am so appreciative to Above All Masonry for helping us to get our life back. It has been a long hard journey of recovery for our family and through their kindness we are able to enjoy a little happiness through all our struggles.”
