Memorial Garden to be unveiled at SUNY Brockport

On October 19, 2003, SUNY College at Brockport senior Lindsay Kyle was killed when her vehicle was struck from behind by a drunk driver. On Thursday, September 15 at 7:30 p.m., her family, friends and the college will commemorate her life at the dedication of "Lindsay's Life & Leisure Garden," located in front of Hartwell Hall on the campus.

Kristin Splain, district attorney for Monroe County's DWI Bureau, will be one of the speakers at the dedication ceremony. She will be joined by Peggy Duffy from the Monroe County "Stop DWI" program, as well as members of Kyle's family and representatives from the college.

Her family and friends created the garden with donated plantings during the Fourth of July weekend. More than 40 people, some from as far away as Michigan, came to the college to assist with the project.

She survived by her fiancé Alan Petrosky; her mother, Sarah A. Palermo; her father, Lee Kyle; her brother, Jonathan Kyle; and her grandmother, Beatrice Palermo.

Family, friends and the public are invited to join Kyle's family and the college at the dedication of this memorial garden. For information, contact Mike Andriatch at (585) 395-5809.
