Girl Scouts plant memorial garden for fallen deputies - The Denver Channel

They chose the Highlands Ranch substation partly because Parrish was killed in Highlands Ranch."There's only (a memorial) in Castle Rock, so we wanted to put one that was closer to the families that they could visit," said Abby Guy, a Cadette Scout.Guy and her fellow scouts Juliana Pepper and Sarah Gross planted perennial flowers, so they'll return every year.
