Karen Mack Memorial

This is long overdue but as the saying goes, “the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is today”.

May 17^th, 2022 would have been my Mom’s 71^st birthday and although it has been almost 15 years since she has passed, I don’t go a day without thinking about her.

My mom was cremated and her ashes were spread in some of her favorite places (Yellow Lake, Lake Wisconsin and the Florida Keys) but I always wished there was a place that family and friends could go to remember her.

She loved the outdoors and biking along the bike path in Dekalb so I think that this would be a perfect place for a memorial.

Dekalb Park District has two options for this:

1 – A tree planted with a memorial plaque which is $600.00

2 – A bench with a memorial plaque which is $1500.00

I’m not sure which one is more appropriate but either one would be great to have and I’m open to opinions and suggestions.

Any extra donations will be used to contribute to the yearly Karen Mack Scholarship at Cortland School.
