    I visited this park as well when I went up to Colorado. It was a clear, sunny day and the park was full of families and little children enjoying themselves. Very sweet. Here are the photos I took:

    Some more details about the fountain, according to Stevie:

    The reason Joe chose to build a fountain in Emma's memory was because when they visited the park, she was always disappointed that she couldn't reach the water fountain herself. She wasn't tall enough. After her death, Joe built this small one that would have been just the right height for her to drink from.

    Bittersweet. It's a lovely park with the mountains there in the background.

    Aw - thanks for posting that, Soda. I would like to visit Emma's fountain one day too. Now, that I have a niece living in Colorado, I just may be able to manage it on one of my visits out there.

    I found this 2010 interview with Joe's ex-wife, Stefany, regarding Emma's death and the subsequent tribute fountain. Touching...and sad.

    What a sweet little girl. Any time I hear of a small child or baby being hurt it just breaks my heart.

    Yes, heartbreaking indeed. I can't even imagine how painful it must be to lose one's child.
