Students at Davenport’s Monroe Elementary School will be unveiling a special memorial to the late Breasia Terrell at 3 p.m. today at the school.

Last fall, with her mother’s blessing, students began creating a memorial to Terrell. Green Thumbers on Brady St in Davenport donated a healthy young maple tree and our friends from One Eight helped to get it into the ground. This spring, the non-profit, Project 15:12, provided funding for a beautiful stone bench engraved in Breasia’s honor and the boulders lining the perimeter.

Breasia’s mother created a cross covered with pictures and we’ve installed it in a place of honor opposite a butterfly wind chime that welcomes visitors.

Thursday at 3:00 will be the culminating event as some of Breasia’s classmates and friends will be adding their own personal touches to the stones surrounding Breasia’s tree and garden.

Even if you didn’t know Breasia, her passing touched us all. If you’d like to join the school children this afternoon, you’d be more than welcome.
