The tree is a beautiful jacaranda tree planted in the parkway across the street from Marengo School.
The dedication tree is planted in memory of Patricia R. Bermingham by her co-workers and friends.

The group held a ceremony at the tree site and shared the following comforting thoughts:

Love never disappears for death is a non-event.

I have merely retired to the room next door.

You and I are the same; what we were for each other, we still are. Speak to me as you always have, do not use a different tone, do not be sad. Continue to laugh at what made us laugh. Smile and think of me. Life means what it has always meant. The link is not severed. Why should I be out of your soul if I am out of your sight? I will wait for you, I am not here, but just on the other side of this path. You see, all is well.
