Memorial Tree Replanted After Vandals Cut It Down

LONGMONT, Colo. (CBS4) - A special tree, cut down by vandals, was replaced in Longmont thanks to generous donations.

A weeping willow planted in memory of Sean and Staci Griffin was cut down more than a week ago. The Griffins owned Boulder Stove and Flooring. They both were shot and killed by a disgruntled employee in 2010.
