Several people have noted that no temporary memorial exists to recognize the horrific murder of Jessica Lane Chambers.  No teddy bears, no flowers, no candles, nothing.
As if it’s all just part of something too horrible, too troubling – something no-one wants to recognize let alone be reminded of.

So we’re doing something about it.

A few hours ago we began to reach out via twitter.  A genuinely kind person in the Courtland community has willingly heard our request and has stepped in to help.
Ashley ” @ashleyryna9 ” on twitter will be delivering flowers, a wreath and poinsettias on behalf of the Treehouse Community.  A florist is going to make the wreath.  We have also contacted the local Lowes manager Bryan Smith, in Batesville, (1-662-710-1000) who has around 200 poinsettias on hand.
We’re doing it up right.  She deserves it.  She deserves to be remembered.

Our goal is to fill the hill where she was exposed to such hate, with a reflection of love.  Fill the hill with Poinsettias with a beautiful wreath in front of the tree to honor her short life.
Something that people will see.
Something to show a beautiful soul existed.
Here in this spot. Hate Will Be Stopped. Love reflected.
Something, perhaps small, will be done.  Someone will bear witness.
Something not to be avoided.
If not us, then who?
