“We’re just honored that they want to do this for Eli, that they want to help heal their community,” Josie Josephson, Hart’s father’s fiancé, told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS on the phone.

“[It’ll be] an area for kids just to be kids and a place for families to make memories,” Josephson said. “Now, all we have are those memories and they’re very precious to us. [So], the thought of them building a playground in honor of Eli, where the families can make those memories that they’ll treasure, it makes us so happy.”
