Two trees for Amanda: How West Chicago community rallied around mom's loss | |
June 22, 2019 Nearly three weeks ago, Lee Ann Meiborg shed tears of sadness and anger as she sat in her car outside West Chicago High School, where a tree planted 15 years ago as a memorial to her late daughter, Amanda, had been removed without warning, explanation or ceremony. Friday, she wept again, but these tears were of gratitude for a community that has rallied to make it possible for Meiborg to have not just one tree to honor Amanda's memory, but two -- one at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, the other in West Chicago's Reed-Keppler Park.
