WEYMOUTH, MASS. (WHDH) - A Weymouth High School senior crafted a touching tribute to police Sgt. Michael Chesna and Vera Adams, who were killed in an attack last summer.
“I did this to show even the students of Weymouth High School felt the tragic blow over the summer,” Liam Connolly said. “I feel anyone who served in the line of duty should be remembered.”
The “Sargeant Chesna, End of Watch” memorial lights up and changes color.
The Chesna family was reportedly moved by the memorial, and so was the Weymouth Police Department.
“It was impressive the amount of time he put into the project. It was heartfelt. It was inspirational. It kind of restored my faith in humanity,” Weymouth police Capt. Richard Fuller said.
The Chesna memorial will be displayed at the police station.
The Vera Adams memorial will be donated to Tufts Library in Weymouth.
“They are still remembered here in Weymouth forever,” Connolly said.
