Meal is usually met with a shrug from the parents and an afternoon of enjoyment, at best, from the child. Te late Helen Lunsford took a
different approach. Rather than discarding the toys, she kept them in a box. A few years before her death in
2004, she took them all out and used the toys as decorations on a Christmas tree. Her sister-in-law, Linda Fox,
thought so much of the tree that af- ter Lunsford passed, she decided to display the treasured recollections and make them into a memory tree for the Reems Creek community. Since taking over Reems Creek

Food Market in 2004, she has put the tree up in the front of her store for the community to share in. People have added to the reminisc- ing tree over the years by writing the names of those they had lost on stockings. After putting the tree up Dec. 1,
Fox said she had 64 names on the tree and expected more to come this Christmas season. “Everybody who comes in just
loves our tree,” she said. “People just look at it for 10 minutes or more.”
