Red Maple for an Angel

Sweet Nathan a boy with SMA Type 1 (spinal muscular atrophy) earned his angel wings on April 28, 2010, he was 6. His parents are truly amazing people who did anything and everything for Nathan. I'm sorry I never got to meet Nathan but my friend, Shannon and I wanted to do something for the family so we decided to raise money to plant a tree in his name through Up with Trees of Tulsa. We chose a red maple because Nathan had a great head of red hair. We also chose Hunter Park since it is close to where our friends live. As we walked down to the park, Jennifer was saying that they used to take Nathan to the pond, we then notice all the trees ready for planting, Nathan's tree was going to be planted directly across from the pond. The morning couldn't have been more perfect for this wonderful family who lost a very special little boy. My thoughts are with them always.
