Join Claire every Monday through Friday as you start your day with Good Morning Tucson!
CATALINA FOOTHILLS, Ariz. — Living in Tucson, you'll find a special gem in Brandi Fenton Memorial Park, tucked away on the south end of the Foothills. But for many in our community, it's more than just a special spot to spend an afternoon in town.
"She was just happy," remembered April."I don't think I ever saw Brandi not happy. Every morning she'd wake up happy. She was just an amazing child. Really a wonderful girl." Brandi loved butterflies, and since her death her parents have looked to them as a sign of her presence. They've been visited by butterflies on trips across the country, where you'd never expect to see one. There's also a big butterfly garden at the park, where they often stop by.
"It's the only positive, the park, because it was the only thing that kept me going really," Jon explained."Because the community, when you see people playing, it's been a very positive thing for the community. The only good thing that came out of it, was the park." That memorial garden even features their beloved family dog, Gonzo, carrying on memories for so many, as does their tree of life mosaic, which recognizes organ donors, just like Brandi became."I just feel very at peace here," he said."It's is a great park and coming out here on Saturday, and seeing everything being used, is always a wonderful thing."
