Its been one-year since an unspeakable death, Walt Disney World has announced its plan to commemorate Lane Graves, the two-year-old Nebraska boy who was killed by an alligator during a vacation at the Orlando theme-park. The company will put up a lighthouse sculpture, which by the way, is the symbol of the Lane Thomas Foundation.
“To provide continued awareness of the foundation and its mission, we’ve commissioned an original sculpture of the lighthouse the foundation uses as a symbol of love and hope, to be installed on our property this summer,” George A. Kalogridis, president of Walt Disney World Resort, said in a statement.
