Inscription

[Obelisk Tribute:]
IN MEMORY
OF THE INDIVIDUALS
WHO DIED WHILE
PATIENTS AT THE
UTAH STATE HOSPITAL
1885 - 1960

[reverse side]
IN HONOR OF THE FORGOTTEN
MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN
WHOSE COURAGEOUS AND LONELY
BATTLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS
WAS NEVER RECOGNIZED IN LIFE.
THEIR STRUGGLES CAME IN AN
ERA WHEN HOPE FOR RECOVERY
WAS NEVER SPOKEN. DEATH
UNDOUBTEDLY BROUGHT THEM
FREEDOM FROM THEIR MORTAL
PAIN. SO BE IT OUR DUTY TO
REMEDY THE TRAGEDY OF THEIR
FORGOTTEN LIVES AND REMEMBER
THEM AS INDIVITUALS PURSUING
THEIR DREAMS WHILE SEEKING A
LIFE OF HAPPINESS AND JOY
AMIDST THE DARKNESS OF THEIR
TRIALS. THAT WE NEVER REPEAT
THE PAST, THEIR VOICES WOULD
ADMONISH US TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THOSE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS
TODAY AND BRING A MESSAGE OF
HOPE, PEACE AND ACCEPTANCE.
