Green Ribbons in Downers Grove in Memory of Anna Trent

Downers Grove, IL — The Downers Grove community is showing support for the family of a 4-year-old girl who died June 19.

Anna Trent's favorite color was green, and in her memory many parkway trees are being adorned with ribbons in the hue of nature, energy, growth and healing.

Donations are also being accepted online through an Anna Remembrance GoFundMe. The page, which has a goal of $10,000, had collected more than $21,000 as of Wednesday.

After the bench is funded, additional donations will help the Trent family, according to the page.

"We are completely overwhelmed with the outpouring of generosity from our friends, family and community," Anna's parents, Katie and James Trent, wrote on the page. "Words cannot express how much this has lifted us up during this challenging time."

Visitation for Anna will take place June 23 with services held June 24. More information is available from Adolf Funeral Home.
