In collaboration with Michael Leopold, we are coordinating the shared gift of a ‘Cherokee Brave’ dogwood Treebute tree for Libby Gilkison Cannon in remembrance of her mother. This beautiful pink flowering dogwood represents the vibrant, astonishing & glorious soul of Jean Gilkison, mother of our beautiful friend Libby Gilkison Cannon and will stand as a remembrance of a life well lived and a love well loved. We dedicate this gift to the entire Cannon family. Your generous donation (gift) will go towards the purchase and the planting of the tree and you will get the knowledge that every day that the tree stands and every season that it blooms it will bring a gentle and natural reminder of the love they all shared.
Treebute will coordinate everything from start-to-finish, including the hardy-sized tree’s delivery and professional installation in their yard. The gift also includes a slow-release watering bag to help this long-lasting tribute get established.
Once this private campaign has been fully funded, Treebute will ship a Care Package to Libby containing a letter identifying each of you as contributors to this collective gift, a booklet detailing the next steps, a yard stake to mark the spot, and a questionnaire so we know where to plant. As contributors, you will receive occasional updates, including a photo of your tree gift after it has been planted in its new home.
Planting tribute trees has long been a beloved family tradition and gentle way of keeping our loved one’s memory close. Treebute is our solution for making these special gifts more accessible and hassle-free. We hope this tree brings Libby healing and comfort for years to come.
Warmly,
Michael Leopold + Treebute
