Spring 2008 Tree Dedication to Honor the Memory of Jenna A. Atturio






On May 17, 2008 Saturday at 1:00pm we will have a short dedication ceremony to dedicate the beautiful tree planted and donated by GW Dempsey Jr. Landscaping for our daughter Jenna. We know that this will be appreciated and have meaning of her life every time we see this tree located next to the bandstand in Hanover. This was one of her favorite places to go and meet friends and play soccer.
With the help of the Hanover DPW we had a granite plaque set at the base of the tree in her name. We will release Balloons for Jenna and two other young ladies who share a place in Heaven with her, Laura Linehan who died on April 4, 2008 before her second Liver transplant began. They were great friends here on earth spending time together at Children's Hospital, Mass General Hospital and together at our home swimming in our pool. They have another friend in heaven Torri Wightman who died at the young age of sixteen in a automobile crash almost two years ago. Her mother Lucy is one of our support and fellow club members, "that is the club which no one wants to join" consisting of parents who have lost a child.
We would like to get the word out to all for the need of organ donations, Jenna Ann Atturio Scholarship Fund which we award to a Hanover High school senior each year. You can donate to her fund at The Rockland Trust Bank, see information below.

Donations can be sent to:
