The mother of a boy who died last summer from being struck by lightening with his friend at Montvale’s Memorial Field has created a wall sized quilt of his T-Shirts as a memorial to his life. Both Lee Weisbrod and Steven Fagan were from Pascack Valley High School, and are fondly missed by everyone in the town. The death had shocked everyone. Lee Weisbrod’s mother had decided to create this quilt made from special T-Shirts that her son had worn such as ones from his graduation from elementary school and his Pascack Valley senior high school shirt. She had seen a similar quilt that had been made for a local seamstress’s daughter and decided to create one for her son. “The quilt chronicles his life and all the great one-time events that happened in his life,” said Nancy Weisbrod. The quilt contains a total of twenty T-Shirts that Lee had worn from when he was nine years old and had attended the Camp Schodack to the his jersey of the University of Miami, he had just completed his freshman year.
