Haire wanted the angels to be Black, like many of the children laid to rest here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is \u2018Baby Land,\u2019\u201d said Haire, 67, Sunset Gardens\u2019 grounds supervisor, as he gestured across the area. \u201cThis is where a lot of babies are buried.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cemeteries like this one have long honored those who die too young.

It\u2019s called the \u201cGarden of Grace.\u201d It\u2019s already been used more than anyone would like.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne time, it was just every weekend. Just a steady flow,\u201d Haire said. \u201cThis one getting killed over here. This one getting killed over there. They fighting against each other, some rival gangs or whatever they were. So we had a lot. A lot of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And 2021 was especially deadly nationwide: More than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\/volumes\/71\/wr\/mm7140a4.htm\">47,000 people of all ages died from gunshot injuries<\/a>, the highest U.S. toll since the early 1990s, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetrace.org\/2022\/12\/gun-violence-deaths-statistics-america\/\">past year<\/a> wasn\u2019t as deadly nationally, though the tally is still being finalized.<\/p>\n<p>The groundskeepers at Sunset Gardens have learned to watch their step in Baby Land because grieving parents drop off toys, candy, and balloons for their deceased children. \u201cThey just do things so differently in grief,\u201d said Jocelyn Belt, 35, whose dad, William Belt Sr., 66, has worked at the cemetery since before she was born. Her brother and cousin work there, too.<\/p>\n<p>The groundskeepers work quietly as families grieve.

William Belt Jr. said he sometimes runs into those who attended the burials around town. \u201cThey don\u2019t know my name. They\u2019ll be like, \u2018Gravedigger, you buried my mom.
