Last Friday the students of Prince Charles Public School, Verona, gathered for the dedication of a maple tree donated and planted by the Parents’ Council of Prince Charles, in memory of three former students who had died under tragic circumstances within the past year.

Nicky Gowdy, chair of the Parents’ Council, spoke warmly of the three individuals: Kevin Grant who loved his farm, family and fishing; Jen Rose Duffy, athletic spitfire and popular bus monitor, and Brian James, “BJ”, a person with a great zest for life who was fascinated by all motorized vehicles.

Representatives from the bereaved families then each tied a memorial yellow ribbon around the tree: Brody Badour, for Kevin; John Morey, for BJ; and Dacota Duffy for Jem.
