The Celebration of Life Monument, which honors organ donors and recipients, broke ground Tuesday to begin renovations. The monument on Library Square in Salt Lake City has served as a beautiful tribute to those who have selflessly helped others through organ, eye, tissue and whole body donation. It was first constructed in May 2004.
