Ahhh such a beautiful story trees have always been my best friends since childhood. I grew up on my Aunts nursery in Skippack PA my uncles family go all the way back to 1760 when t my uncles great grandparents brought to America the first pink dogwood and the praying mantis. Thomas Franklin Meehan from Germantown pA. There are tree stories that have come down through the generations things like trees do cry and do have a memory bank. My uncle would tell us stories about trees that they could remember everything and everyone that was ever around them. Think about that. They have had a tradition that when they die they choice a type of tree and after they are buried the tree is planted on top of them no grave stones . My parents were cremated yet we still planted a tree over their ashes, my husband and I plan to do the same and have oaks planted on us.
