Emily's Tree

A beautiful Japanese Maple tree was recently dedicated to Emily at the Chester Library in Emily's hometown. The tree, which has VT colored- Maroon leaves, is in direct view out of a large window in the children's book section of the library. This tree was dedicated to Emily by my mom's bookclub, and is a very beautiful sentiment of Emily's spirit continuing to inspire others, and represents Emily's strong compassion for children.

Here are pictures of Emily's tree and dedication ceremony:

We are so excited to watch the tree grow and hopefully inspire those young and old to live by Emily's favorite quote: "Embrace that which defines you".

These pictures as well as Emily's other memorial places can now be found in the new GALLERY section of Emily's foundation site.
