The children's elementary school, Centerville Elementary, through the work of their principle, Mr. Forbush, their teachers and donations from classmates, family and friends, purchased a new tree that was to be planted in memory of Heidi. Mr. Forbush spent many hours removing the old stump, and then Saturday morning the kids were able to help plant the tree right in front of the school. It is a Redbud Tree that will bloom pink buds all up and down the trunk and branches each spring and will be a great reminder to family and friends about Heidi. A small plague is being placed next to the tree that will say "Heidi's Tree." Thank you too all how helped contribute to this special moment.
