🌱 North Fork Daily: Child Dies After Crash: PD + Greenport Skate

Happy Tuesday, North Fork friends. A crowd turned out this weekend to celebrate the charm of Greenport, heading to the ice rink at Mitchell Park for a free skate marked by music and laughter. Hearts were heavy Monday as we learned that the little Riverhead girl critically injured in a Flanders crash Thursday has died. And together, we prepare for a candelight vigil in Greenport tonight to honor the life of beloved teacher Cindy Goldsmith-Agosta, who died suddenly Saturday. Life is so fragile — take the time today to tell the ones you love just what they mean to you. Stay safe, stay warm, and find joy in this beautiful place we all call home. Until tomorrow. . . .
