MANCHESTER, N.H. — A public funeral service for Baby “Grace” Doe, the unidentified infant found in a pond in late March, is scheduled for Monday.
Services will be held at Connor-Healey Funeral Home at 4 p.m. and the public is invited to pay their respects.
“This baby deserves to be recognized,” said Manchester Police Chief Peter Marr. “The way she was discarded is heartbreaking, and it is important that we give her a proper farewell.”
Authorities named her “Grace” as a reflection of the compassion and dignity a caring community can offer, and to recognize the kindness extended to her by those who wanted her life to be remembered.
In her memory, a compassionate artist created a tribute portrait of Baby Grace.
“No matter the circumstances, every life deserves honor and remembrance,” Chief Marr said.
The newborn‘s body was found in the pond at Pine Island Park in Manchester on March 27.
A $2,500 reward is being offered for information about what happened to her.
