Memorial tree planted in resident's honor

The 2017 Green River Pond and Garden Tour was dedicated to Toni Morgan. Wiley and Toni Morgan are instrumental in creating the Green River pond tour event. 

"With the loss of Toni last year, I received several emails asking if we could dedicate this years tour to Toni and purchase a special tree and plaque to be placed on the river walk in Green River," Lyneen Murphy, pond and garden tour director said.

During this year's pond tour, each garden home sold raffle tickets raising funds to purchase a Red Bud tree and beautiful plaque for Toni. 

The tree and plaque were placed on the river walk Aug. 3.  On Sept. 14 family and friends gathered at the tree for an official dedication. 

Lamar and Eileen Green, who were also instrumental in getting the pond tour going, came in from Florida to speak that evening. Family and friends placed floral wreaths, candles and mini  lights around the tree. 

"I wanted to thank our wonderful community for your support and allowing us to place the perfect memorial for Toni and the Morgan family," Murphy said.
