Funeral Program from Jill Diane Randolph’s Service
1995
The grief that surrounds losing a loved one is hard to imagine, even more so when the loved one is lost in a violent tragedy. The Memorial created an environment to “offer comfort, strength, peace, hope and serenity.”
This funeral program for bombing victim Jill Diane Randolph illuminates one of the jobs the Fence holds. The Fence presented itself as a unique way to continue processing feelings, whether they were acknowledged or suppressed in the chaos of the event. This was especially true in those early years following the bombing when the Memorial had yet to be constructed. In the aftermath of the bombing, services for victims occurred frequently. The Fence and the Memorial allowed mourners to remember and to heal at their own pace, in their own way.
