I didn't know you. I have only read your story. I got to take pictures at a dedication event that recently took place. A tree planted in your honor shortly after your death, has grown big and strong and now has a plaque with your name, to remember a life cut too short.
I would love to share the pic with your family as well as collect any pictures you would be willing to share.
Sorry for your loss,
