Angels Among Us is a design sketch by Slater for the Incarnate Word Academy’s (IWA) new Montessori building prayer garden in Corpus Christie, Texas. Slater was asked to design a memorial to three young children (Oliver Rumley, and Andrew and Leighton McComb). Slater conferred with the children’s parents to incorporate each child’s favorite hobbies and pets. This final sketch was one of several designs created by Slater and was very much loved by the parents and client. However, sadly the funds ended up not being available, so instead a tree and plaque were installed.
