161 Trees in Cunningham Park in Memory of 161 Lives Lost and Christmas Cards for Lost Souls
Pictures of COS youth praying over each tree that represents a life lost in the tornado and carrying buckets of water to the trees during this Missouri drought. The trees are located in Cunningham Park across from St. John's Regional Medical Center which was totally destroyed in the storm. It still stands as a gruesome reminder of that terrible afternoon. The park in contrast has a new playground, water park, and picnic area with the memorial trees planted throughout. While some youth watered and prayed over the trees, other sorted Christmas cards for prison inmates, praying for these lost souls.
Lots and lots of cards!
Lots of long trips to the watering hole and back to each tree!
