Pictured is an Aristocrat pear tree, which the Colliers planted years ago to commemorate the loss of their daughter, near a patch of lawn that Renie Collier refers to as “the emerald.” Referring to her husband, she said, “This is Ed’s part of the garden. It’s as green as an emerald, and it certainly costs as much.” (Stephen Brubaker/Courtesy)
