NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) — It was quiet off 16th street in Newport News Saturday morning.
The trees were standing bare against the wind, but one of them was unique enough to make the cars slow down as they drove past it.
“I think it looks fabulous,” smiled Newport News resident, Shannon Wilburn.
Wilburn and a few friends have been nurturing this beautiful space in honor of a beautiful soul.
Wilburn says the tree decorated with flowers, lights, and mementos, is a reminder that fallen Newport News Police Officer Katie Thyne’s legacy will always stay alive.
