8/26/10: Here is and update from Anne in her own words.
Dear Family and Friends,
After the tragic death of our precious Delia Lee many thoughtful and caring people got together to come up with ways to honor Delia. Shortly after her death, Adam and I knew that we wanted a beautiful place to be with Delia that would grow and provide us with brief moments of peace. It has blossomed into an orchard. We have hopes of many trees that will provide bounties of fresh delicious fruit, which is very fitting for Delia. Delia's Auntie Shannon put together a lovely website to collect donations to create a Delia Lee Orchard at our farm. deliaorchardfund.blogspot.com
Another group of wonderful people came up with the idea of the Delia Lee Jamboree to honor our little love. A day of friends, food and music beginning with tree planting mixed with many, many tears. As we try to carry on, we are constantly carried by the wonderful and thoughtful people that surround us. Thank you for all that you have done- every little thing does matter.
This fall we would like to use the donations from the Orchard fund to purchase and plant fruit trees (we will need your help to plant the orchard) at our home as part of the Delia Lee Jamboree. The Delia Lee Jamboree will take place October 16, 2010 at Black Diamond Ranch in Cobden, IL. There is camping space available at the ranch. More information will be sent out as the date approaches- I just wanted to let you all know the date.
With love,
Anne and Adam Kaszubski

Delia Lee Kaszubski
Delia Lee Kaszubski was all joy, excitement and adventure; always one half princess and one half farmer. On April 15, 2010 there was a tragic farming accident on her family's farm and sweet Delia went home to be with Jesus. In her honor, her parents Adam and Anne, have hopes to plant an orchard on the farm. In lieu of flowers at the services, Adam and Anne had requested that anyone who desired to give and remember Delia would instead help them purchase fruit trees.
About the Fund
Delia Lee's Orchard Fund was opened on May 20, 2010 at USBank as a way for us to join Adam and Anne with their vision of planting this orchard. Fruit trees cost around $45 each and are normally purchased and planted in the Autumn. Therefore, we have only a few months to raise funds. Our desire is that Adam and Anne will be able to use this fund to purchase the specific trees that they desire to be in Delia’s orchard. (In talking with Adam about the orchard, I know that one day he looks to have upwards of about 70 trees. My hope is that he can have them all this Fall.)
If you are moved to give to this fund please know that any blessing is greatly appreciated and whatever you give will be applied in your name to the purchase of their desired trees.
